Cannot access the printer through
PMU over an Ethernet Interface
ethernet If the ethernet port is not enabled, the following message will occur
when you try to connect to a printer:
“The network address given in the printer properties was reached, but
the printer port is busy. This may occur when another user is
accessing the same printer, or when another logical printer is
connected to the same address.”

establish a connection with the ethernet interface:
1. Make sure a successful “ping” can be performed.
2. If the READY indicator is on, press the STOP key. The printer
must be in the NOT READY state.

appears on
the display.

SELECTION” appears on the display.

setting>” appears on the display.

PORT / ETHERNET” appears on the display
