Changing 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.
Step Procedure
1 See the Accessing the Network Setup Menu procedure to access the
Network Settings menu (MENU -> Setup Printer -> Network Settings).
2 Select down arrow on the LCD to view the ANEG: menu entry.
3 Press the Select button to change the auto negotiation setting for the
Printer, which will rotate between the following:
• ANEG: AUTO: Allows the auto negotiation between the Printer and the
host Ethernet interface.
• ANEG: FD: Forces the full duplex communications between the Printer
and the host Ethernet interface.
• ANEG: HD: Forces the half duplex communications between the Printer
and the host Ethernet interface.
4 If you change the setting, you will be prompted to reboot the Printer.
