1.3 DETAILED SECTION DESCRIPTIONS
1.3.1 OVERVIEW
This network board can manage both 100Base-TX and 10Base-T. It has a
maximum data transfer speed of 100Mbps.
The auto-negotiation function automatically switches the communication speed.
The controller board supplies the power source (+5V) and provides the reset
signal. The controller board communicates with the network interface board
through the option I/F connector.
The functions of the LEDs and the switch are as follows.

Resets the NVRAM on the netw ork interface board.
NOTE: This board has the hardware to execute a “Summary Printout”.
However, it does not function on this printer due to the contro ller
specifications.
1.3.2 NVRAM RESET
SW1 resets the NVRAM on the network interface board.
This board has the hardware to execute a "Summary Printout". However, it does
not function on this printer due to controller specifications.
NVRAM Reset Procedure
This procedure resets all the network settings to the defaults.
• IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway Address, Access Control Mask,
Network Boot, Frame Type (NetWare), Active Protocol, and so on
1. Turn on the main switch while pressing SW1. Keep pressing SW1 for 15
seconds.
2. Release SW1 for 3 seconds, press it again for 3 seconds, and then release it.
3. Turn the main switch off/on to complete the NVRAM reset procedure.
There is a margin of less than 1 second for error. Use a watch to measure the
time periods as accurately as possible.
4. Print out the configuration page, and then check the settings. If the procedure
failed, the previous settings remain. Repeat the above procedure until the old
settings have been cleared.
