Power-up and Self-Test

Whenever the DP-101 is powered up, two kinds of testing procedures follow automatically.  The

first procedure is just a programmed series of LED flashes, to confirm proper operation of the

three LED indicators.  The second procedure comprises programmed tests of each of the DP-101's

major components. If any fault is found during the component test series, testing is halted and a

continuous pattern of LED flashes signals the nature of the fault.

LED Test Series

Immediately upon power-up, all three of the LED indicators will show steady green for several

seconds.  Then the LPT indicator will flash three times while Pw/Tx and Lk/Rx remain steady.

Irregularity of any of the LEDs during this LED test series indicates that there is a problem with

the LEDs themselves.  Contact your dealer for correction of any LED problems before proceeding.

Component Test Series

The actual component tests immediately follow the LED tests.  A normal (no fault) result is

signaled by three flashes of the LPT indicator and the start of normal print server operation.

If any error condition is found during the component test series, then the test will halt with the

LPT LED continuously signaling the particular error according to the following table.

In the event of a Firmware Reload Required error at startup, proceed according to instructions

given in the PS Admin User’s Guide ("PS Admin Administration" section, under the heading

"Upgrading the Print Server's Internal Firmware").

In the event that any of the other listed error conditions is encountered on startup, contact your

dealer for correction of the fault.
