6-6 MonarchNet2 Operating Instructions
6. Ping the printer.
Pinging the printer tells you if it is "seen" on the network. If you
cannot ping the printer, turn the printer off and then on. Then
ping every device in the path to the printer – access points,
routers, etc. Any device you cannot ping needs attention.
ping ip address (i.e. ping 192.0.0.192)
7. Verify connection to the data port by starting a Telnet session to
the printer using Port 9100 (i.e. telnet aa.bb.cc.dd 9100).
Press Ctrl-E on your keyboard. This sends an ENQ request.
The printer responds with three characters. Depending upon
the Telnet being used, you may not see the first character, as
it is a hex 05 value. The other two characters are ASCII
characters. You will see
A@
which means the printer is online and waiting. Alternatively,
you can type
{J,2}
Note: The J must be capital.
The printer responds with {J,0,0,””,””}.
No response means that the printer may have an open session
to some other connection. Either terminate the other
connection or turn off the printer and turn it back on.
