Chapter 5 Unix Troubleshooting Tips

No Form Feed Or Extra Page Comes Out
Unix text jobs may also have problems outputting the last page of a
job especially when the BSD Remote (LPD) print method is used.
This means the form feed button has to be pressed on the printer to
get this last page out.
To make this process automatic, tell the NIC to handle this task by
setting this feature “on” in the appropriate model. The command
syntax is:
set model modelname trailer $FF
save
For example, if printing to the destination, d2prn, the associated
model is m2. Therefore, the command is:
set model m2 trailer $FF
save
For default destination model mappings of the NIC, please see
“NIC Naming Schemes” on page 354.
TCP/IP Access Problem
If you can
ping
the printer from a workstation, but you cannot Web
browse, Telnet, or print to the printer through the NIC, there may be
an incorrect entry in the TCP access list. In order for this
workstation to use the NIC in this case, one of two things must
happen:
the TCP list must have an entry added to grant access to this
workstation, or
all entries must be deleted from the TCP list to grant all
workstations/hosts access to the above TCP services.
To view the current access list, use the printer control panel to
access the configuration menu (see the
User's Manual
for
configuration menu information). From the DIAGNOSTICS/Printer
Tests menu choose the E-Net Test Page. When the page prints,
look under the TCP Access Table section for the TCP access list
entries.
