This innovative product easily shares your standard printer or all-in­one, multifunction printer (MFP) on your network. Unlike many print
servers, it can communicate with MFPs and standard printers as if
connected directly to your computer. Advanced features let you print,
scan, read media cards, and fax through the network. The Print Server
offers bidirectional communication with MFPs and standard printers,
to help monitor important details such as ink and paper levels.

The Print Server supports print, scan, card-reader, and fax-sharing
functions for most popular operating systems such as Windows® 2000
SP4 and higher, and XP SP1 and higher. It also supports Windows XP
scanning utility and MFP vendors’ scanning utilities.

This product can also be used as a traditional print server. It supports
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), Line Printer
Remote (LPR) technology, Read-After-Write (RAW), and Internet
Printing Protocols (IPPs). It can share print functions in the various
common network operating systems including Windows 98SE, Me,
NT®, 2000, XP, and 2003; UNIX®; Linux®; and Mac OS® X v10.2.x
and above.

This Print Server provides IEEE 802.11g/b wireless LAN (up to 54Mbps
data-transfer rate), an Ethernet network port (10/100Mbps Ethernet),
and one USB 2.0/1.1 port for MFPs or standard printers. The Print
Server can be easily connected to your 802.11g/b wireless or wired
network.

Product Features

The Print Server simultaneously supports dual functionalities: All -In­One-Print-Ser ver mode (AIO - PS mode) and Print-Ser ver mode ( PS
mode). Users can choose one of the modes in which to share MFP or
standard-printer functions through the Print Server.

AIO-PS (All-In-One Print-Server) Mode

The Print Server can communicate with MFPs and standard printers
as if it is connected directly to your computer. This enables users
to connect to MFPs for sharing print, scan, card-reader, and fax
functions. If the Print Server is connecte d to a standard printer but
not to an MFP, u sers still can share the printing function through
the operation mode. In this mode, the suppor ted operating system
is Windows 2000 SP4 and above, and Windows XP SP1 and above.
AIO-PS mode doesn’t support Windows 98SE, Me, or NT; Linux/
UNIX; or Mac OS. For the detailed applications, refer to the following

Print Server Manager

Introduction

This chapter introduces the Print Server’s system-configuration
utility in a Windows environment. This utility provides the most
complete management and configuration functions on the Print­Server side. This utilit y only provides configuration functions for the
Print Server itself; it does not include configuration functions for the
client side or other f ile ser ver in the network environment.

1

The configuration utility provides the following
configuration and management functions:

• Search All-In-One Print Server: Searches all

available Print Servers on the network.

• St atus: Displays Print Server’s net work status.

• Setup: Shows configuration settings for the Print Ser ver.

• General Co nfigur ation: Configure ge neral settings about

the Print Server such as serve r name, password, etc.

• TCP/ IP Confi guration: IP-address and

DHCP-server configu ration.

• System Configur ation: Pr int Se r ver’s network-

ability setting and firmware upgrades.

• Wireles s Configuration : Searches for available

wireless networ ks and configure s the wireless settings
of the Print Se r ver for the wireless connection.

• All-In-O ne Print Se r ver Management : Allows the

administrator to manage the Print Server. Administrator ca n
force -disconnect the current connection of the Print Server.

• Report: Lists the infor mation of all available

Print Server s on the network.

We will explain each function separately in the following se ction.

IP Address : 192.16 8. 2 . 2 5 3
Su bnet Mask : 2 5 5.255.255.0
Gateway: 192 .168.2.1

Make sure that the TCP/ IP information configured here is correct and
matches your network settings, as it may be used as an alternative if
a DHCP server on the network is ever unavailable or not found.

11

53

Print Server Manager

The Print Server will check if the manually configured IP address is in
the same subnet as the netwo rk or connected computer. If the TCP/
IP-addre ss settings configured manually are in a dif ferent IP sub net
than that of the connecte d networking devices, the user will be
prompted by the alert message shown below. Click “OK” to go back
and configure the correc t IP-address set tings for the Print Server.

Internal DHCP Server

Click the “DHCP Server” but ton to enter into the internal DHCP
server’s setting page. You can e nable /disable the DHCP server and
assign a range of IP addresses here. By default, the DHCP server is
disabled (recommended ). When it c omes to assigning an IP address
to the Print Ser ver, the interna l DHCP ser ver ta kes lowe r prece dence
to either get ting an IP address from an external DHCP se r ver or using
the configured static IP address. Both options are described in the

addre sses. Fill in the “Starting Address”, “Range”, “Subnet Mask”,
“Gateway”, and “DNS” fields; then the Print Se r ver will assign a
unique IP address to each DHCP client. However, the Print Se r ver
itself will g et an IP addres s from the external D HCP ser ver or use
the configured static IP address, if the Print Ser ver is configured for
eithe r of these two options as describ ed in the “IP Settings” section
above. Otherwise, the internal DHCP ser ver will assign the first IP
addre ss to itself if no external DHCP ser ver is found and the Print
Server is not set up to use a static IP.

There is another option called “Auto” for the internal DHCP server.
“Auto” means that the Print Ser ver will first search for and detect
DHCP ser vers within the network automatically. If a DHCP server
exists on the network, the internal DHCP se r ver will stay idle
(disabled) and would not respond back to DHCP reque sts that it
receives from clients. If a DHCP server doesn’t exist on the network,
the Print Server will turn on its own internal DHCP se r ver and assign
IP addresses to clients. In this case, the internal DHCP server will
also assign the first IP address to itself only if the Print Server is not
set for a st atic IP as described in the “IP Settings” section ab ove, as
static IP takes pre cedence. Fill in the “Starting Address”, “Range”,
“Subnet Mask”, “Gateway”, and “DNS” fields; then the Print Server
will assign a unique IP to each DHCP client.
