Follow these steps for a trouble-free start of print server operations with your 1­Port USB Print Server. Please take particular notice of the warning in step 4:

the network connection should be made before supplying power to the 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 prin ter, turn off the

power.

3. Confirm that your network is operating normally.

4. Connect the print server to the network (through the RJ -45 connector of

the print server).

WARNING: Configuration problems may result if the print server is powered up
without first establishing its network connection. Please follow this procedure to

avoid complications at the configuration stage.

cable to the printer’s USB port.

6. Turn on the printer’s power.

any conflict in your network, it is recommended to use the PS Admin

program to change the IP setting when there is some other device’s IP
