Status sheet button

The first time you use the print server after installing or reinstalling it, turn on the printer while holding down the status sheet button for about twenty seconds to initialize the print server. The length of time needed to hold down the status sheet button varies depending on the printer model.

Before you start configuring the print server, be sure to press and hold down the status sheet button on the print server to print a status sheet. A status sheet provides important information about the print server, such as MAC address, printer settings, and the printer’s current status. Press the status sheet button once to print a simple status sheet, or twice to print a full status sheet. You cannot print a status sheet when the printer has already started printing, or when it is offline or not ready to print.

Note:

If the printer does not print a status sheet, make sure the printer is online and no print jobs are being processed, and then wait a minute. If it still does not print a status sheet, turn the printer off, wait until the status lights go out, and then turn it back on again. The status sheet can be printed one minute after the printer finishes warming up.

cCaution:

After turning off the printer, wait until the status lights go out before turning the printer back on; otherwise, the print server may not work correctly.

RJ-45 connector

This connector is used to connect an Ethernet cable to the network. You can use this cable for both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX.

cCaution:

You must use a Category 5 shielded twisted-pair cable to connect the print server to prevent malfunction.
