The print server is equipped with three
LED lights to assist in diagnosing print
server or network errors.
Status (Orange)
When the print server unit is powered on, the Status LED will flash up
to five times as part of the unit’s Power On Self Test (POST). This
indicates that the print server hardware is properly configured. This
LED, however, may flicker whenever data is being transmitted and
printed.
2 Link LEDs (Green)
This light will illuminate green if the PS12U detects a problem-free

Installing Print Server on NetWare 4.x/5.x
Due to its architecture and functionality, the print server must work
under NetWare 4.x/5.x NDS Bindery Emulation. When you install the
NetWare file server for the first time, by default, the installation
program will automatically set up the Bindery Emulation function
for you by adding “SET BINDERY CONTEXT =” in the
AUTOEXEC.NCF file. By default, the bindery context will only be
set on your organization (O) object.
If you have ever modified this line, or if you have ever added any
organization units (OU) to your NDS tree after the NetWare system
was installed, please read the following section before you install the
print server.

Installation Procedure
1. At your file server console, type “load install”.
2. Select “NCF files options”.
3. Select “Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF file”.
4. Add or Modify the “SET BINDERY CONTEXT =” line to
include the NDS organization (O) and all organization unit (OU)

SNMP Setup
TCP/IP networks use a standard management protocol called
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP is widely used
in the industry as a solution for remote network management and
monitoring of networking devices. SNMP actually includes a protocol,
a database structure specification, and a set of database objects. The
database objects are contained in a standard database called
Management Information Base (MIB) that is stored on the networking
device called SNMP agent. The print server's SNMP implementation
runs in a TCP/IP environment.
A host on the network running Network Management System
(NMS) software can access the print server device by reading and
writing the MIB objects stored in the device. The Network
Management Systems are available from many third-party vendors,
such as Hewlett-Packard's OpenView.
When accessing (traversing) MIB objects in the print server
using NMS software called SNMP manager, you need to provide a
community name in each SNMP request for authentication purpose.
The print server supports up to two community names. The default
community name is public (case-sensitive), with Read Only access
right in default.
When an unusual condition or activity occurs, the SNMP agent
alerts the SNMP manager through SNMP traps. Following list
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
summaries SNMP trap messages that the print server will send out.
Activities/SNMP Trap Messages
Description
Link Up or Link Down
When the network interface on
the print server fails, a link down
trap message is generated; if the
network interface comes back to
life, a link up trap message is sent.
Cold Start or Warm Start
Authentication Failure
When the print server restarts, the
cold start or warm start trap
message is generated.
When the print server received a
SNMP request with a community
name that does not match the
community name the print server
is configured with (stored in the
print server's memory), an
authentication
failure
trap
message is generated.

In the print server's SNMP implementation, the following MIB
objects are available for updating.
MIB Object Names

system.sysContact
Indicates
the
network
administrator's name.
system.sysName
Indicates the print server's name

AppleTalk Setup
The print server can print jobs submitted from Macintosh workstations
connected via Ethernet using AppleTalk protocol. The basic

1. Click Setup; it will then appear in the sub-menu.
2. Click on AppleTalk
3. Zone Name: In this option, type an AppleTalk Zone name that
you want the print server to belong to or leave it in default (This
enables the print server to automatically search and link itself to the
default zone that is set on the AppleTalk router, if found). This
assumes that at least one AppleTalk Zone exists on the network. If
no zone exists, the print server itself displays the zone name as an

4. Port Name: In this option, type a name for identification
purposes or just leave it as default (recommended).
Note: The default print server’s Chooser name is shown as follows:
<ATALK_PS>-xxxxxx-1, where xxxxxx represents the last six digits
of the device’s Node ID. For example: ATALK_PS-40EEED-1. You
may also change the <ATALK_PS> to a name you like for
identification purposes in this option. The print server will append
the last six digits to the name you specify.
5. Printer Type: LaserWriter is the default selected printer type
(recommended).
Data Format: In this option, data format includes ASCII, TBCP and

IPP Overview
The PS12U supports the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). You can
use this protocol to access your printer over the Internet as long as you
configure your IPP gateway correctly on any Windows 2000 or XP
client. Using the appropriate software on your system, you can create
an IPP print path from your Windows PC system over the Internet to
access your PS12U from a remote location.
Note: For incoming print path requests, the network administrator
must configure the firewall to accept incoming IPP requests
from clients outside of the network.

Question A
Print jobs are sent to the print queue successfully, but fail to be sent to
the printer.
Possible explanations
1. The Print server Name/Print Queue configuration in
PCONSOLE is incorrect.
2. The Print server name specified and stored in the print server
memory doesn’t match the same one set in PCONSOLE.
3. The network cable or power adapter connected to the print
server is loose or disconnected.
4. The printer is off-line, jammed, or out of paper.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Solutions
1. Check all the information in PCONSOLE.
2. Check all the information of the print server by running
PSAdmin.
3. Check to see that if the network cabling and power adapter
are properly connected.
4. Recheck the print server connection by running the PSAdmin.
It should read “Connected.”
Question B
Print jobs start printing, but print very slowly or print unknown
characters.
Possible explanation and solution
A printer driver is missing or is incompatible with that printer. Using
a print driver that is not specific for the printer can cause printing
errors. Install the proper printer driver. If these printer drivers are not
available to you, please contact your printer manufacturer.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Try disabling bi-directional printing. This can be achieved through
the print server’s setup function. Bi-directional capable printers may
cause a conflict with the PS12U.
Question C
The upgrading process indication bar stops and does not seem to
proceed again while upgrading the print server.
Possible Explanation
There might be a network problem. This causes the upgrading
procedure to fail.
Solutions
1. Check the network cabling, especially from the workstation
running the PSAdmin to the print server unit.
2. Run the PSAdmin and upgrade the print server again.

Question D
The Status LED light keeps blinking after POST.
Possible explanation and solution
The last upgrade process was not completed. The print server must
be upgraded again by using the PSAdmin. Please see the manual
