Resetting The Nic; Restoring Factory Defaults; Nic Status Lights - NEC 870 - SuperScript B/W Laser Printer Network User's Manual

Resetting the NIC

If you change NIC settings, you may need to reset the NIC
for the new settings to take effect. To reset
• Go to the NIC Home Page, click Network
Administration, then click Reset in the System
column,
or
• Turn the printer off and then on again.
Restoring Factory Default Settings
You can reset the NIC to its factory default settings. This
means that the NIC clears data such as names and IP
addresses. It does not lose its serial number or Network
Address. If you have changed the printer's name, it will
revert to its default name.
note:
You should restore factory defaults when the
printer is moved to a different network.
Two ways to reset the NIC to factory default settings are
• Go to the NIC Home Page, click Network
Administration, then click Factory Defaults in the
System column. You will need to enter a password
(the default is sysadm). (The NIC Home Page is
described beginning on page 8, passwords are
explained on page 10.)
• Turn the printer off. Press the Operator Panel button
and hold it while turning the printer on again.
Continue holding the Operator Panel button down
for about 20 seconds until all status lights begin to
double-blink.
note:
If you are using this printer on an AppleTalk
network you will have to turn the printer off, then on
again (without pressing anything else) in order to re-
broadcast the AppleTalk name on the network.

NIC Status Lights

When the NIC is installed, its two status lights, amber and
green, are located on the interface panel on the back of the
printer. Light patterns for normal operation are
Green light is on solid: This shows normal
operation while the printer is awaiting print jobs.
Amber light blinks continuously: This shows that
the NIC is receiving a print job.
Green light blinks 3 times and stays on: This
occurs when the printer has performed a successful
self-test. It then prints a Network Settings page.
Light patterns that identify error conditions are
described on page 43.
