    It was the ieee802 that had been activated, thus stopping the wired network from use. Why it was and who did this I don't know. I never thought that this would be an issue as the copier
    doesn't use this facility. But thank you to mga for the information.

    Someone thought they could enable WiFi with it. IEEE802 when Ricoh over priced internal WiFi interface is installed. It is also used for some high end authentication systems.

        Also some customers with security in mind just go and flip every switch that vaguely resembles "stronger security", and then are surprised when the machine stops printing and scanning.

            I had that happen with an MP301 (I think) about 10 years ago.

            Part of a large machine rollout at a factory; it was in a dirty little shipping dock office.

            It took a few hours to find that one.

            Turned out a noob in our setup department had no idea what he was doing. No other machine in the rollout had the same issue.

            I can't believe I forgot about that little adventure.

            Just getting old, I guess.....

                    Yeah, great fellow tech mga to the rescue once again

                    As network settings become more and more complex maybe sometimes it's not bad idea to do network settings reset and start from fresh.
                    The amount of time tech use to redo network setup from scratch may be significantly less than finding hiden 'trap' in some cases.
