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 Ethernet Interface to
handle this task by setting this feature “on” in the appropriate
model. The command syntax is:

set model 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 Ethernet Interface,
please see “Ethernet Interface Naming Schemes” on page 373.

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 Ethernet Interface,
there may be an incorrect entry in the TCP access list. In order for
this workstation to use the Ethernet Interface 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.
