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.
With the PT-9200DX, install the printing software
for the PS-9000 onto each client, and use it instead
of using LPR printing.

■ 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.
