While Printing
z
When [Receiving Buffer - LPD] is set to either [Spool to Hard Disk] or [Spool to 
Memory]
If the transmitted print data size exceeds the available capacity of either hard disk or 
memory, the print data is not received.
Note • When the print data exceeds the receivable size, some computers may immediately re-
transmit the print data. In this case, the computer appears to be not operating. Remedy this 
problem by canceling the print data transmission from the computer.
z
When [Receiving Buffer - LPD] is set to [No Spooling]
When the machine receives a print request from a computer, the machine cannot 
accept print requests from any other computers.
z
When a computer's IP address or a computer name is changed
When you change a computer's IP address or a computer name, queries and cancel 
processes submitted from the machine are no longer executed correctly. Thus, turn 
the machine off and on when there is no print data in the receiving buffer.
Note • From the control panel on the machine, you can cancel print jobs or force the machine to 
print the jobs remaining in the receiving buffer. For more information on the operation, refer 
to "11 Job Status" in the User Guide.
Notes and Restrictions for Using EtherTalk
This section describes notes and restrictions to observe when using EtherTalk.
Printer Name
The system is set so that printer names used for identification by clients are not 
duplicated on the network. When assigning a new printer name, if the same printer 
name already exists on the network, the system automatically changes the printer 
name when the machine is started.
<Rules for changing printer name>
Printer names are changed according to the following rules:
z
Names of 31 characters or less
Adds a number to the end of the printer name. If the same printer name with the 
number added already exists on the network, increases the added number by one.
z
Names of 32 characters
Changes the last character of the printer name to a number. If the same printer name 
with the last character changed already exists on the network, increases the 
changed number by one.
If the printer name is changed, the previous printer name set before the change is 
displayed when browsing [Protocols] on the [Properties] tab of CentreWare Internet 
Services. However, since the changed printer name is registered on the network, 
clients can browse the machine by using the changed printer name. Turning the 
machine off and then on after changing the printer name activates the machine with 
the changed printer name. If the same printer name already exists on the network, 
the printer name is changed according to the rules described above when the 
machine is started.
Assign a printer name so as not to duplicate other printer names on the network.
