Operation and Troubleshooting Chapter 7

This chapter describes normal operation of the NIC in the printer, and

also provides information on how to troubleshoot any problems you

might have with the NIC.

7.1 LED Status Indicator

The NIC has two LED status indicators: amber and green. The amber

LED generally indicates job activity; it flashes when a print job is

being communicated to the NIC; it is off when no activity is occurring.

The green LED indicates the operating condition of the NIC when it is

powered on during normal operation. The following table provides the

conditions that this LED may indicate.
