Reviewing the ANEG Setting
The ANEG status indicates the current setting of the network configuration of the
Ethernet interface.
• This value can be set explicitly by the User to force the Ethernet interface
configuration in cases where auto negotiation fails.
• Failure of the automatic network configuration can cause slow data transmission,
longer print times or network connection problems.
Follow the procedure provided below.

the host Ethernet interface.
• ANEG: HD: Forces half duplex communications between the Printer
