Troubleshooting

Verify Network Connectivity

1.When the printer finishes initialization and the front display/ control panel displays the message “READY,” check that the LEDs on the back of the printer operate correctly.

NOTE: Check the yellow LED only if you have 10BaseT cabling.

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 traffic on the network. If the green light does not blink, the Network Interface Card may be defective.

2.Make sure that the jumpers on the Network Interface Card are set correctly. Normally for 10Base T cabling, Link should be “OFF”and JP1 and JP2 should be “ON”.Refer to “Setting the Jumpers” in the “Network Interface Card” Installation section for more information.

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.

Verify Printer/Network Parameters

Make a PostScript test if you have not already done so.

Using a PostScript mode test print, verify that pertinent AppleTalk, IPX, and/or TCP/IP parameters that have been set up are correct. These parameters will not appear on a test print made with the printer in Raster mode.

Printer/network parameters may also be verified from a telnet session. Refer to “Telnet” in this section.

Power cycle the printer. Under some circumstances the printer may lose network communications with the host and not regain them until a reinitialization occurs. Some parameters
