Wait for the message to disappear (approximately 5 minutes). If the
printer EIO card is operating correctly and communicating with the
network, this message disappears after approximately one minute
and no action is required.
If the EIO card is unable to communicate with the network, this
message remains for five minutes and then disappears. In this case
the printer is not communicating with the network (even though the
message is no longer present). The problem may be a bad EIO card,
a bad cable or connection on the network, or a network problem.
Contact your network administrator.
