Make sure that the printer is powered on and is on-line, and that all cables are securely plugged in.

If the printer starts up OK but you cannot print, the problem could be one of the following:

There is a problem with the interface between the print server and the printer.

There is a problem with the network connection or cabling.

There is a queue setup problem, a print server setup problem, or other protocol-related problem.

CHECKING THE INTERFACE BETWEEN THE PRINT SERVER AND THE PRINTER:

1.First make sure that the print server is securely plugged in to the printer.

2.Wait about two minutes after the printer is powered ON, and then run a print server self-test by pushing the button on the back of the print server for less than five seconds.

NOTE: Pushing the button for more than five seconds will reset the print server to factory defaults.
