Basic Troubleshooting Procedure

This procedure addresses a number of symptoms that you might experience with your print server:

  1. Verify the physical cable connections between the print server, the printer, your router, and your power outlet.
  2. Ensure that the power outlet to which the print server is connected is a live outlet.
  3. Refer to the LED descriptions and then check the LEDs on the print server to make sure you are receiving power and that there is not a print error.

 

If you still have trouble using the router, follow the procedure below that best describes your symptom.
