If you are using the TCP/IP  
protocol, ping the PS-9000  
with the set IP address to see if  
there is any reply. If there is no  
reply to pinging, the IP address  
may not be set properly.

Symptom  
Cause  
Remedy  
If a DHCP/BOOTP server or a  
RARP server resides on the  
network, the IP address is  
automatically issued by the  
server. In this case, the IP  
address that was manually set  
for the PS-9000 may have  
been overwritten by the  
server.  
Create a local environment where the server does  
not exist and issue the IP address to the PS-9000. At  
the same time, make sure that “Obtain an IP address  
automatically” in the TCP/IP setting is not marked.  
The print job is  
not printed.  
If the PS-9000 and the  
computer are not in the same  
segment, a subnet mask and  
gateway address must be set  
for the PS-9000.  
Use the Brother PS-9000 Utility to check whether  
the subnet mask and gateway address are correct.  
Check the printer port name of the PS-9000. The  
port name is indicated by “(PTLAN xxxxxx: P-touch  
TCP Port)” after the assigned port name.  
Depending on the operating  
system being used, the  
automatic dial-up setting may  
have been specified.  
When using PS-9000, cancel the setting for  
automatic dial-up or, if the automatic dial-up setting  
cannot be cancelled, click [Cancel] in the dialup  
dialog box to begin printing.  
Dial-up starts  
when printing  
is performed.  
If the unit stopped operating  
because of a tape width error  
or no more tape in the cassette  
during another user’s print job,  
printing is not possible until  
the error is cancelled.  
An error  
occurs during  
printing.  
After the other user’s print job is finished, try printing  
again. Otherwise, use the Web browser to restart  
the PS-9000, and then try printing again.  
LPR printing is  
not available  
with PS-9000.  
With some of the P-touch  
machines, LPR printing is not  
available.

*For details on the LEDs, refer to “Parts and Functions” in chapter 1, “About PS-9000”.  
2 LINK LEDs (green)  
Lights when a proper LAN connection is established.  
With a 100BASE-TX–compatible machine, check which LED is lit to determine if the connected  
LAN interface is 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX.  
STATUS LED (orange)  
Flashes during data transfer. During data transfer, this LED flashes at irregular intervals.  
If the LEDs indicate that operations are not being performed correctly, connected equipment or cables  
connecting the PS-9000 to the computer running the setup utility are not set up correctly. (Check that  
the indicators for the power supply and connection on the hub or router indicate that they are  
operating correctly.) If they are not operating correctly, replace the power supply cables, connection  
cables or connected equipment, and then try performing the operation again.
