Solutions
When you connect the printer by Ethernet using devices that support IEEE802.3az (Energy Efficient Ethernet), the following problems may occur depending on the hub or router that you are using.
Connection becomes unstable, the printer is connected and disconnected again and again.
Cannot connect to the printer.
The communication speed becomes slow.
Follow the steps below to disable IEEE802.3az for the printer and then connect.
