Old network equipment with outdated firmware. Result: The printer simply never detects the speed and the result is a complete communication failure.

Result: The printer may detect the speed but not the duplex setting, hence there may be an increase in network collisions, reduced speeds, and inconsistent network connectivity.Ī specific switch access port was forced to a specific speed ('Speed Mismatch').įorcing connection speed on the switch also disables Autonegotiate.
#ETHERNET STATUS SPEED DIFFERNT FULL#
The Autonegotiate setting on the switch is disabled or forced to no negotiation ('Duplex Mismatch').ĭisabling Autonegotiate will result in some speedat full duplex. This table is provided to help the reader understand the behavior of Cisco's autonegotiation behavior.

#ETHERNET STATUS SPEED DIFFERNT HOW TO#
* If you do not know how to gain access to the network SE menu, you will need to contact Lexmark Technical Support. Investigate router, switch, cables, and all other network infrastructure possibilities.Access the printer's Network SE Menu* and force connection speed to 10Mbps half-duplex or 100Mbps half-duplex.Status: Not Connected or device falling off the network. If you see the word (Auto) after the speed and duplex setting. You do not see the word (Auto) after the speed and duplex setting someone has forced this value.Ĭhange the speed and duplex settings under the printer's Network SE Menu* to ( AUTO).Ĭontact Lexmark Technical Support if uncertain how to access this menu or perform this procedure. Use this table to determine you next step. NOTE: If the printer is able to communicate on the network, you can also access the network settings page via the embedded web server under Reports, and then Print Server Setup Page.Ģ. Print out a network settings page and locate the Speed, Duplex values at the top of the page. This remedy can work to both harm and help your situation under certain conditions. * Also known as the NIC, INA, print server, or Ethernet card.Īny printer or MFP that has the ability to force network connection speeds. No activity light on the Ethernet port.The printer network adapter* experiences difficulty with negotiating network speed and duplex settings because Autonegotiate is turned off on a switch.No Activity Light on The Ethernet Port Network Speed Negotiation Issues Prevent Handshake or Network Connectivity
