Introduction

Thank you for purchasing and using our Wireless G (the Print Server).

section

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

Installation Procedure

Step 3. Configuring Wireless Settings

1. The default wireless setting is “Auto” mode. The Print Serve r

will detect a conne ction to a wired-LAN netwo rk through
the attached Ethernet cable. If the Print Ser ver is conne cted
to a wire d network, it will work in that networ k. To enable
wireless mode, the Ethernet c able must be disconnected
af ter final configurations. However, the Ethe rnet cable ne eds
to stay plugged in for the required wireless c onfigurations
in this section. For more detailed information about wireless
settings, refer to the “Wireless Configuration” section.

2. The “Wireless Network Set tings” screen of the Print Ser ver

will automatically scan the wireless networks nearby. Select
the wireles s network to which you would like to connect
and click “Next”. Alternatively, you can manually enter
the wireles s-network information (“Manual” mode).

The default wireless set tings are as follows:

Mode: Infrastructu re
