Ethernet Print Server Status 

The Ethernet print server has one bi-color LED that tells 
the status of the print server. During normal operation, 
the LED is solid green for more than 30 seconds. This 
does not mean the print server has an IP address or is 
attached to a NetWare queue, but that all of the hardware 
is functioning properly and it has detected the presence 
of the network. The following table describes the displays 
of the LED and possible solutions:

The print server has not detected the 
presence of a network cable.  
To determine the problem: 

1.  

Disconnect the print server from the 

printer. Remove the network cable from the 
print server. Plug the network cable back 
in until you hear a positive click. Check 
the other end of the cable in the same 
manner. Plug the print server back in. If 
the print server still does not detect a 
cable, continue below. 

2.  

Verify the cable is a 10Base-T cable and 

it has an RJ-45 end. The network cable 
must have a CAT-3 or higher rating. Silver 
Satin or flat ribbon cable is not adequate.  

3.  

Connect to a network drop that a currently 

working PC or print server is using. If the 
print server is still unable to detect the 
network cable, contact Technical Support 
for assistance.
