Troubleshooting
Cannot configure the network interface or cannot print from the network. | |
Cause | What to do |
The printer settings or network settings may be wrong. |
First, check to see if you can print a status sheet, as described in Printing a Network Status Sheet. If you can print a status sheet, check the network settings; otherwise, set the interface mode of the printer's control panel to Auto or Option. |
Cannot print even if you have assigned the IP address to the computer and the printer. | |
Cause | What to do |
You have assigned an IP address to the computer manually, but you assigned the IP address to the printer by Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA). |
Assign the printer's IP address so that it belongs to the same segment of the computer. Use EpsonNet Config and the printer's control panel. |
Unable to start EpsonNet Config. | |
Cause | What to do |
You have added or deleted protocols after installing EpsonNet Config. |
Uninstall EpsonNet Config and then reinstall it. See Uninstalling Software and Installing EpsonNet Config. |
The message "EpsonNet Config cannot be used because no network is installed." appears when you start EpsonNet Config. | |
Cause | What to do |
Both TCP/IP and IPX/SPX are not installed on the computer. | Install the TCP/IP or IPX/SPX protocol. |
TCP/IP is installed on the computer, but its IP address is not set correctly. |
Set a correct IP address for the computer. |
The message "Could not complete communicating configuration data" appears when you send settings to the network interface. | |
Cause | What to do |
This may happen when using a dial-up router. |
Run Command Prompt from the computer on which EpsonNet Config is installed, and then enter the following command: Format: >ROUTE_ADD_the IP address of the network interface_ the IP address of the computer (the under bar represents one space) Example: >ROUTE ADD 192.168.192.168 22.33.44.55. |
Unable to start EpsonNet Config with Web Browser. | |
Cause | What to do |
You have not set the IP address for the network interface. |
Set the IP address for the network interface using EpsonNet Config for Windows or Macintosh, the printer's control panel, or the arp/ping commands. You can check the IP address on a status sheet. See the EpsonNet Config Reference Guide or Setting an IP Address Using the arp/ping Command. |
Unable to set the IP address using the arp/ping commands. | |
Cause | What to do |
The network interface is not connected to the network. | Connect the network interface to the network, and check the network environment. |
The printer is located beyond the router. |
The printer and the computer must be in the same segment. |
The Model Name and IP Address do not appear in the EpsonNet Config dialog box. | |
Cause | What to do |
If the valid IP address is not set, the items indicated in the dialog box mentioned above may not appear. |
Set a valid IP address. Refresh the status by selecting Refresh from the View menu. Increase the length of time before a timeout. To do this, select Options from the Tool menu, and then select Timeout. Note that doing so can cause EpsonNet Config to run more slowly. |
An extra account is generated when using the dial-up network. | |
Cause | What to do |
NetWare is set to Enable even though you are not using NetWare. | Set NetWare to Disable on the NetWare screen of EpsonNet Config with Web Browser. |
