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. 

 
 
Status (Orange) 

When the

 

print server unit is powered on, the 

Status

 LED will flash five times as 

part of the unit’s 

P

ower 

O

S

elf 

T

est (

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 (Orange) 

When the WLAN enabled, the 

WLAN 

LED will be on. When data transmitting, it 

will be 
blinking. 

USB (Green) 

Print server is being connected with USB printer. 
 

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.
