Windows 98 and Windows Me Troubleshooting
This troubleshooting section assumes you have completed the following tasks:
■ Verified that the printer is plugged in, turned On, and connected to an active network.
■ Installed a Phaser printer PCL or PostScript print driver.
■ Verified that the printer is receiving network information by monitoring the LEDs on the
back of the device or on the CentreDirect External Print Server. When the printer is
connected to a functioning network and receiving traffic, its link LED is green, and its
amber traffic LED is flashing rapidly.
■ Printed and kept a current copy of the “Configuration Page”. For information about using
the front panel or printing a “Configuration Page”, go to Reference/Features/Front Panel
on the User Documentation CD-ROM.
