Troubleshooting

12.2Verify Network Connectivity

1.When the printer Þnishes initialization and the front display/control panel displays the message ÒREADY,Ó check that the LEDs on the back of the printer operate correctly.

¥The Yellow LED should illuminate and be in a stable condition. If the light does not illuminate or is unstable, check the connectivity between the Network Interface Card and the network hub switch. If the connectivity is correct, the Network Interface Card may be defective.

¥The Green LED should blink intermittently indicating a burst of trafÞc on the network. If the Green LED does not blink, the Network Interface Card may be defective.

2.Make sure that the mode switches on the Network Interface Card are set correctly. For printing the NIC must be in ÒNormalÓ (D1 & D2 Up) or ÒTelentÓ (D1 Up, D2 Down) mode for printing. If necessary, refer to the NIC Mode Switch diagram in the NIC installation chapter.

3.Make sure that the network cables are connected correctly and are in good working condition. If necessary, install a new cable.

If the printer can print from the parallel or Local Talk ports, check for the correct network setup.

12.3Verify Network Parameters

1.With a printer in PostScript mode, make a NIC ConÞguration Test Print if you have not already done so. The NIC must be in ÒTest PageÓ (D1 Down, D2 Up) mode and power cycled to print a NIC Con- Þguration page.

Verify that pertinent AppleTalk, IPX, NetBeui and/or TCP/IP parameters that have been set up are correct.

Raster only printers can not print a NIC conÞguration Test Print. Instead, use NIC conÞguration utilities to verify network parameters.

2.Power cycle the printer. Under some circumstances the printer may lose network communications with the host and not regain them until a reinitialization occurs. Parameters that are conÞgured on the NIC are not effective until you power cycle the printer.

3.You may want to reset the NIC to factory defaults by using the NIC faceplate mode switches. Refer to ÓAppendix CÓ for instructions on resetting the NIC.
