Troubleshooting

 

 

 

This chapter describes some problem situations, which may arise, and the solutions to them.

Overview

If you encounter printing difficulties, please refer to the appropriate section.

If, after following the advice in these documents, the LevelOne Printer Server still does not function properly, please contact your dealer for further advice.

Hardware & LAN Problems

Problem No. 1

 

All the LevelOne Printer Server's LEDs are off.

 

 

 

Solution No. 1

 

Check the power supply or power connection.

 

 

 

Problem No. 2

 

LevelOne Printer Server's status light continuously stays lit.

 

 

 

Solution No. 2

 

Reset the LevelOne Printer Server by unplugging the power supply and

 

 

plugging it back in.

 

 

 

Problem No. 3

 

The LevelOne Printer Server unit can not be found on the LAN, so

 

 

configuration is not possible.

 

 

 

Solution No. 3

 

If using 10/100BaseT, check the Hub:

 

 

The link LED for the port to which the LevelOne Printer Server is

 

 

connected should be ON.

 

 

If it is Off, there is a problem in the network cable.

 

 

If using TCP/IP:

 

 

Ensure that there are no routers between the LevelOne Printer

 

 

Server and the PC used for configuration.

 

 

Ensure that the PC used for configuration has the TCP/IP network

 

 

protocol installed. Test its network connection by seeing if you can

 

 

locate other LAN devices from the PC. (e.g. Use Network

 

 

Neighborhood and try to browse the network.)

 

 

 

Problem No. 4

 

I am using DHCP, and getting an IP Address conflict involving the

 

 

LevelOne Printer Server.

 

 

 

Solution No. 4

 

If the LevelOne Printer Server is left on, but the DHCP server is turned

 

 

off, then the LevelOne Printer Server will retain its IP Address without

 

 

the DHCP Server being aware of it. Simply reset the LevelOne Printer

 

 

Server so it will obtain a new IP Address.

 

 

This problem would also arise if you assigned static IP Address, which

 

 

is within the range used by the DHCP server. If so, use another address

 

 

which is NOT within the range used by the DHCP server.
