The test button is used for:
• Printing a test page to check the connection to the printer.
• Printing the parameter list showing the print server settings.
• Performing a Factory Default of the print server, which will restore most
of the parameters and settings to factory default values.
See The Test Button, on page 119 for details.
The network indicator flashes to indicate network activity.
The power indicator is lit while power is applied. If it is not lit, or if it
flashes, there is a problem with the print server or its Power Adapter.
All printers can be used except host-based printers (also known as CAPT,
GDI, PPA or Windows-based printers).
The print server can be configured and managed from its internal Web
pages. These Web pages offer you a platform independent management
tool that is suitable for all supported network environments. See Using a
Web Browser for Print Server Management, on page 84 for details.
The print server provides high performance and reliability combined with
low power consumption. The electronic circuits are based on the AXIS
ETRAX 100 LX chip, which comprises an integrated 32 bit RISC processor
and associated network controllers.
The print server supports printing in all major computer systems and
environments, including five different print methods in the TCP/IP
environment. The integrated IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) function
allows for printing from LAN to LAN via a WAN, such as the Internet.
The print server installs, operates and is managed in a reliable and easy
fashion.
