Getting to Know the Wireless

PrintServer

LAN

Green. The LAN LED serves two purposes.
If the LED is continuously illuminated, the
Wireless PrintServer is successfully con-
nected to a device through the LAN port. If
the LED is flickering, the Wireless
PrintServer is actively sending or receiving
data to the wired network.

WLAN

Amber. The WLAN LED is exactly like the
LAN LED, except that it will show Wireless
Activity. It will stay continuously lit if there
is a wireless connection, and it will flicker
when the Wireless PrintServer is actively
sending or receiving data to the wireless
network.

ACT

Green. The ACT LED will remain continu-
ously lit when a printer is correctly connect-
ed to the Wireless PrintServer. The LED will flicker when print jobs
are being transmitted to the printer, over both the wired and wireless
networks.

Err

Red. The Error LED lights up when there is a problem printing to the
indicated printer. If this LED lights up, try resetting the Wireless
PrintServer by pressing the Reset button on the back of the Wireless
PrintServer.
