9. Troubleshooting 

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 MICO-SP-3P 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 (Green) 

When the MICO-PS-3P unit is powered on, the 

Status

 LED will flash five times as part of the 

unit’s

P

ower

O

n

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. 

LINK (Green) 

If the network cabling is Twisted-Pair Cable, and when this light is ON, the Twisted-Pair cable 
connection is problem free. 

POWER (Red) 

In most cases, the print server fails to send and receive network data due to incorrect use of 
the network cable and/or to connector problems. Twisted-Pair Cable is 10BaseT/100BaseT 
8-wire Unshielded Twisted-Pair Cable. The pin assignments for the RJ-45 connector used for 
this cable must conform to the UTP cable specifications. 

Power Related Problems 

The MICO-PS-3P 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. 

Print Port Related Problems

Printing data failure may be caused by a loose connection of the MICO-PS-3P to the parallel 
port of the printer. Check to see if any of the pins on the parallel port connector are damaged.
