Solution

Printing the Network Setup Page

IMPORTANT:  Verify that the WiFi light is ON before attempting to print the network setup page. If the printer has been inactive for a period of time and the display has turned off, press   to reactivate it.  
StepAction
  1Starting at the home Setup Menu, repeatedly press  until Setup is highlighted. 
  2Press .
  3Press  until Network Setup is highlighted.
  4 Press .  NOTE:  Step 5 yields a Wired & Wireless page. For a Wireless Only page, go to Step 7.  
  5  Press  until Print Network Setup Page is highlighted.
  6Press .  The printer will display Printing Page 1 of 1
Alternative: Wireless Setup Page  (continuing from Step 4...) 
  7 Press  until Wireless Menu is highlighted.  
  8Press .
  9
Print Wireless Setup Page will be the first highlighted option. Press  again. The printer will display Printing Page 1 of 1.
NOTE:  This page will not display any wired network settings.   

NOTE:  Press  to return to a previous screen.  Press this button repeatedly to go back to the home Setup Menu.

Network Setup Page:  default (out of box) settings explained 

Default SettingValueDescription
Network Card11
StatusNot Connected
This value indicates the current network state of the device.  Connected will show only after successful software installation.
This value can also signal a communication problem.  
Bitrate
0 Mbps (megabit per second)

Bit rate is based on the connection method and the condition of the network.
Network connection methods (modes) include:

  • Infrastructure (54 - 100+ Mbps)

  • Wired (10 - 100Mbps)

  • Ad-hoc (11 Mbps)
End-of-Job Timeout (E.O.J)90 (seconds)
The E.O.J. timeout value determines how long the network adapter will maintain an open TCP/IP port connection with the host (PC) should the host fail to send an End-of-Job command. 
The value can be adjusted through the Embedded Web Server (EWS)*
NOTE:  A value of 0 (Zero) disables this feature and shifts all port control to the host.
UAA (universally administered address)002000026DD2
This is the MAC address, or network hardware address.  This value is a device-unique identifier.  
NOTE:  If your network uses MAC address filtering, provide the MAC address to your network.  Refer to your router/access point documentation or network administrator.  
Helpful Hint: This value aids the end user in two ways:

  1. Helps identify the printer during a wired network installation.  See Steps 12 and 20 of the Windows Network Setup Guide.

  2. A portion of the UAA becomes part of the created port name.  This  helps identify the correct port name under the Ports tab of driver Properties.
    Example:  9300_Series_026DD2_P1

  
  
LAA (locally administered address)000000000000
If set, this value disables and replaces the UAA.   This is not advised except for network administrators that require a special hardware naming convention.
The value can be adjusted through the Embedded Web Server (EWS)*
WARNING!  This value must be unique for the customer's network. Having a duplicate hardware address can cause serious networking issues.

ActiveON
Ready to accept TCP/IP network traffic.
Enable DHCPON
Ready to accept a DHCP server-administered IP parameters (IP, netmask, gateway, etc.)  
NOTE:  Wireless routers serve as DHCP servers.  See wireless router/access point documentation for further information. 
Address SourceAuto IP
This setting identifies the IP address source.
The three possible values are as follows:

  • Auto IP - Automatic assignment of a 169.254.#.# address after ~20 - 30 seconds. 

  • DHCP -  Automatic assignment of IP parameters.  Requires DHCP to be active on the network.

  • Manual -  Static IP parameters manually entered on the printer will yield this message.   
Address (IP)0.0.0.0
No address available.  Configuration required.
Netmask255.255.255.0Sometimes referred to as Subnet Netmask.
Gateway 0.0.0.0
No address available.  Configuration required. 
NOTE:  The value is determined by local (LAN-based) router or outside (WAN-based) router.   
Fully Qualified Domain NameET002000026DD2
Also, default Host Name.
The value can be changed through the Embedded Web Server (EWS)*.  
Zero Configuration Name9300 Series
This setting plays an important role in the creation of ports with Macintosh computers.  
The value can be changed through the Embedded Web Server (EWS)*.

BSS Type (connection method/mode)Ad hocDefault Ad-hoc value will be replaced by Infrastructure in most cases. 
SSID (network name)print serverThis value is often replaced by the wireless router/access point SSID.

Preferred Channel NumberAutoAd-hoc mode requires a specific channel, but Infrastructure channel is determined by the router/access point.

Address SourceDHCPThe Access Point, functioning as a DHCP server, performed its job of assigning IP paramters to the printer.
Address (IP)192.168.0.103This value is the address assigned to the printer network adapter by the wireless router/access point.
Netmask255.255.255.01
Gateway 192.168.0.1This value is equivalent to the router's gateway.
Fully Qualified Domain NameET002000026DD21
DHCP Server192.168.0.1Since the access point is serving as the DHCP server, the DHCP Server address value is the same as the wireless router's IP address.

* EWS (Embedded Web Server):  How to access

NOTE:  The embedded web server, or printer web page, is only accessible after the printer has been successfully configured on the network. 
  1. Open your preferred web browser application (e.g. Internet Explorer). 
  2. Enter the printer's IP address after http:// (e.g. 124.136.10.124). 
  3. Press ENTER on the keyboard.
