This chapter describes procedures for troubleshooting problems you may encounter with the print server, it
is divided into the following sections:

Network print problems
■
General problems
How to reset the print server to factory default
You can reset the print server back to its default factory settings (resetting all information such as the
password and IP address information). See Restoring the network settings to factory default of the Network
User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.
Network print problems
The print server is not found using the Simple Network Configuration capabilities of Mac OS® X.
Make sure you have completed the IP address setting of the print server according to Chapter 2 or Chapter
3 of the Network User’s Guide on the CD-ROM before installing the printer driver. Check the following:
Make sure that the machine is powered on, is on-line and ready to print.

Check to see if there is any LED activity. Print servers have two LEDs on the back panel of the machine.

The upper green LED shows Link/Activity (Received/Transmit) status. The lower orange LED shows
Speed status.
• No light: If the upper LED is off, then the print server is not connected to the network.
• The upper LED is green: The Link/Activity LED will be green if the print server is connected to a
Ethernet network.
• The lower LED is orange: The Speed LED will be orange if the print server is connected to a 100 Base
TX Fast Ethernet network.
• The lower LED is off: The Speed LED will be off if the print server is connected to a 10 Base T Ethernet
network.

address is correctly loaded into the print server. And make sure that no other nodes on the network have
this IP address. For information on how to print the Network Configuration List, see Printing the Network
Configuration List of the Network User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.

Error during printing
If you try to print while other users are printing large amounts of data (e.g. many pages or color pages with
high resolution), the printer is unable to accept your print job until the ongoing printing is finished. If the waiting
time of your print job exceeds a certain limit, a time out situation occurs, which causes the error message. In
such situations, execute the print job again after the other jobs are completed.
Note
If none of the above steps are successful, there is almost certainly a hardware or network problem!
