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. So that the workstation
can 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 menu. See the

User's Manual for configuration menu

information. From the Operator Print Test menu, choose the
Ethernet Test Page. When the page prints, look under the “TCP
ACCESS TABLE” section for the TCP access list entries.

To add/delete a TCP access list entry, refer to “TCP Access Lists”
on page 347.

NOTE: When the following procedure is used, the TCP access list

will be cleared, but all IP addresses will need to be entered
again after the procedure is complete.
