Solución paso a paso

  1. Disconnect and reconnect the Ethernet cable at both the router and the printer.
  2. Restart your router to force IP re-assignment.
  3. Enter the network settings menu and reset to default values.
  4. Check your PC print port settings to ensure it points to the correct printer IP.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Use certified Cat6 cables. Assign a static IP from your router configuration to avoid long-term addressing conflicts.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after testing a new cable and a fixed IP configuration, the internal network card may be faulty.
