When there is a primary server in the local
network
Even if a primary server is installed on the local network, an
unnecessary dial-up may be generated depending on the
configuration.
The following problems are common to both Print Server mode
and Remote Printer mode.
Primary file server
(primary print server)
Printer
When the power is turned on
Since access is made only to the primary server, no dial-up is
generated.
When the print server is not correctly set
Since access is made only to the primary server, no dial-up is
generated. However, if the file server/print server of the
remote network is erroneously set as the primary server, an
unnecessary dial-up might be generated. Correct the settings
to avoid this problem.
During normal operation (standby/printing)
Since access is made only to the primary server, no dial-up is
generated.
When the primary server is down during operation
Connection to the primary server is periodically attempted,
but no dial-up is generated. However, if the router is set to
pass SAP packets (Find Nearest Server), an unnecessary
dial-up might be generated. To avoid this, turn off the printer
once, or do not allow the router to pass SAP packets (Find
Nearest Server).
