Unable to Print
If you are having problems printing, verify that there is communication between the
10/100 Internal PS and the printer. Suggestions include the following:
Ping the printer to determine the ability to communicate with the printer. See Ping the
Printer.
Or open a Telnet session and send a ZPL command to print a configuration label. See
Telnet on page 85 for more information.
Check obvious error conditions such as head open, out of media, out of ribbon, etc.
If problems persist, contact Technical Support.
Ping the Printer
To ping the printer, complete these steps:
1. Open a DOS window.
To open a DOS window, click on
Start > Run.
2. In the Open text box, type: cmd
3. From the DOS prompt, type:
ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the print server
