General Troubleshooting Overview

The most common problems, which cause the print server to perform improperly, are covered in this chapter. If a problem still exists after reading this chapter, please contact your dealer for technical support.

LED Light Indicators

The print server is equipped with LED lights to assist in diagnosing problems that are the result of the network and/or the print server hardware itself.

Power (Green)

When the print server unit is powered on, the Power LED will flash five times as part of the unit’s Power On Self Test (POST). This indicates that the print server hardware is properly configured.

Note: Make sure that the LED flashes five times (POST) upon connecting the power. If the unit does not flash five times, contact your dealer for a replacement or repair.

WLAN (Green)

Data is being transmitted via the wireless connectivity.

USB (Green)

Data is being transmitted via the USB port.

Power Related Problems

The print server requires an external AC power adapter in order for it to function. If you have a power problem, check to see whether the power cord or its connectors are damaged. More importantly, check to see that the AC power adapter included with the print server matches the AC voltage in your country or area. Using an incorrect AC adapter will damage your print server.
