Troubleshooting

For expanded troubleshooting 
information, look on the 
Drivers, MarkVision and 
Utilities CD. Click View 
Documentation and look for 
the MarkNet link. 

Under normal conditions, the lights on the MarkNet indicate ready (idle), job 
being processed, flash operation in progress, or restart in progress. If you notice 
an unusual light pattern on the MarkNet lights, refer to the chart of error 
conditions in the online document Troubleshooting. 

TCP/IP

1

Make sure the TCP/IP protocol is turned on (activated) in the print server. 
To find out, print a network setup page and look in the paragraph under 
TCP/IP.

2

Issue a ping command to the print server. 

ping 192.168.236.24

The file you use with FTP can 
be in PCL or PostScript 
emulations, PDF, HTML or 
any other language the printer 
understands. If the file prints, 
this confirms the TCP/IP 
protocol is working properly in 
the MarkNet print server.

3

Establish an FTP session with the print server. 

ftp 192.168.236.24

4

Using the FTP put command, print a file to the network printer. 

put mytest.ps

5

Check the port settings on the printer object. 

6

Check all settings in the print server, using the MarkNet resident web 
pages or MarkVision. 

To use the MarkNet resident 
web server, type the print 
server IP address in the URL 
field of your browser (for 
example, 
http: //192.168.236.24).

7

For non-UNIX networks: Uninstall Lexmark software.

8

For non-UNIX networks: Reinstall Lexmark software. During the 
reinstallation, select only those network protocols you actually use (for 
example, TCP/IP).

9

Try printing again.

customer support” on page 15.
