How to Print a Network Settings Page ID:BPD357

Printing the network settings page from the printer's operator panel is
accomplished as follows:

1. While the printer is in the Ready state, press the Menu> button until
Network Menu appears on the display.
2. Press the Select button to enter the network menu. Then press the Menu
button until Standard Network or Network Option # appears under Network
Menu.
3. Press the Select button to enter the network submenu. Press the Menu >
button until Network # Setup appears on the display.
4. Press the Select button. Print should appear below Network # Setup.
5. Press the Select button. Then press the Menu> button until Print Setup
Page appears on the display.
6. Press the Select button to print the network settings page.

Note: If the printer is not using a standard network card or has multiple
network adapters installed, the Network # indicates which of the printer's
internal option slots the network adapter is using.
