1.5 Cabling
Follow these steps for a trouble-free start of the print server operations with your print server.
1. Confirm proper operation of the printer to be connected
to the print server.
2. When you have confirmed proper operation of the printer,
turn off its power.
3. Confirm that your network is operating normally.

5. While the printer is powered off, plug the print server to
the printer (parallel or USB interface).
6. Turn on the printer’s power.
7. Connect the DC end of the AC Power adapter to the DC
power input socket of the print server and the AC end to the wall outlet. This will supply power to the print server immediately.

1.8 Printing in Windows 98SE/ME
The Print Server can provide print services to TCP/IP networks using the lpr/lpd network printing protocol. Most
NIX systems are capable of supporting lpd, as is Windows
U NT/2000. This LPR for TCP/IP Printing client gives Windows 98SE/Me workstations the ability to print using the lpr/lpd printing protocol. Though it is possible to print to Print Servers from Windows 98SE/Me, this capability is useful if primarily administer your network from U print from workstations that are only accessible through IP routing.

1.10 Printing in MAC OS
1.10.1 Rendezvous Uses in MAC OS 10.2
The latest version of MAC OS provides a new feature that is called Rendezvous. Rendezvous is a revolutionary networking technology standard that lets you create an instant network of computers and devices, which can be used throughout Mac OS 10.2 to provide innovative ways to share files and printers and even contact other people on the network. For the printer connection, the Mac OS 10.2 Print Center application uses Rendezvous to discover Rendezvous­enabled printers on the network. When you add your computer to a network, Print Center automatically discovers the available printers. All you have to do is selecting the one you want to use and then start printing. You can add a new printer to the network and all the users on the network will see the new printer automatically appear in their Print Center, without any configuration. The following instructions provide a common procedure of installing the printer:
58
NetServer
Launch Print Center. Press and hold the Option key,
click the Add button.
Select Rendezvous from the pop-up menu.
When clicking the Rendezvous item, the following
window appears to display the connected Rendezvous­enabled printers.
