9. Troubleshooting 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 two LED lights to assist in diagnosing problems that are the result of the network and/or the print server hardware itself.
Troubleshooting Status (Orange) When the print server unit is powered on, the Status 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. This LED, however, may flicker whenever the data are being transmitted and printed. Note: Make sure that the Orange 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.

From your Windows NT server that is used as a router, select Start from the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Select Settings. Select Control Panel. Double-click the Network icon. Select Services. Select Add. In the Select Network Service box, select the RIP for NWLink IPX/SPX compatible transport. Click OK. Follows the directions on the screen. Done! Multi-Segment Frame Type 802.
Troubleshooting Print Server Reconfiguration Procedure on Windows NT 1. Click Start on the bottom left hand corner of the screen. 2. Select Settings and select Printers. 3. Select your printer connected to the print server, and right-click the printer icon. Select Properties. 4. Click Ports tab. 5. Click Configure Port. The print server will be shown on the next screen. 6. 7. Find your original print server according to its Port Name or other distinguished name and click this print server.
Troubleshooting TCP/IP Troubleshooting When you are configuring a new print server on your NT/UNIX server through LPR Port printing under TCP/IP protocol, you might encounter the following problem in your initial installation steps: " I can do the "arp" command. However, when I am going to ping or tftp the print server, it always shows Request timed out. I have checked the print server’s power and it exactly passed the POST. Besides, the network cabling is OK.
Troubleshooting 1. Find an unused IP address on Segment A for temporary use in the following steps, for example, 192.72.214.68. 2. Connect your print server to Segment A as a networked node. 3. On your NT server, type, for example, "arp -s 192.72.214.68 00-40-01-3F-02-AB". Please note, in this arp command you have to type 192.72.214.68 on purpose. Do not type this IP address as 192.72.214.100. 4. Type "tftp 192.722.214.68 get config.txt".
Troubleshooting Question B Print jobs start printing, but print very slowly or print unknown characters. Possible explanation and solution A printer driver is missing or is incompatible with that printer. Using a print driver that is not specific for the printer can cause printing errors. Install the proper printer driver. If these printer drivers are not available to you, please contact your printer manufacturer.
Troubleshooting Question F The PSAdmin reports “Print server Already Exists”, “Printer Already Exists”, or “Print Queue Already Exists” after specifying the print server name, or the print queue name in Auto Setup. Possible Explanation A same print server name or queue names exists in the specific NetWare file server as the one you specified in the Auto Setup dialogue box. Solution Specify a new print server name or queue name in the Auto Setup.
