1. Introduction
Product Overview
The external print servers enhance capability by letting you place your printers at convenient locations directly on the Ethernet network, and by increasing network printer performance and management. Please note that the print server does not support printing with host-based printers, e.g. CAPT, GDI, PPA.
Network Management
The print servers support the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which remote printer management and a warning. A standard SNMP agent is permanent on these print servers. Any standard SNMP-based application can be used to access and manage these print servers.
Network configuration
The print servers provide an embedded web server that can be accessed via a proper web browser. We also subsidiary Windows-based PSAdmin utility which help administrator to setup print server environment.

Wizard
Wizard is a configuration program that can assist you in setting up the necessary parameters for your print server device to function. Setup a print server by using Wizard.
TCP/IP Wizard
1. Click Wizard button just like a picture 
.and select TCP/IP Wizard.
2Select “Obtain an IP address from DHCP server”. If there is a DHCP server on your network. This option allows the print server to obtain IP-related settings automatically from your DHCP server. This setting, by default, is disabled. If you would like to manually specify an IP address to the device, please skip to the following step.
3In the IP Address option, type an IP address for the print server. The IP address must meet the IP addressing requirements of the network segment.
20
4(Optional) In the Subnet Mask option, type the Subnet Mask your LAN or network segment is currently configured to use.
5(Optional) In the Gateway field, type the IP address of gateway.
6When done, click OK button. The program will save the above settings into the print server.
7Done

3.Select the NetWare File Server to which the print server device will be attached.
4.Type in a Print server.
5.Type in a Print Queue Names.
Note: Each print queue corresponds to each print port of the print server.
6.Click OK.
7.Done.
8.From your NetWare client computer, such as Windows 95/98/Me, create a printer that is connected (redirected) to one of the NetWare print queues serviced by the print server.
Manual Setup
Manual Setup is a configuration program designed for more experienced users of NetWare. To setup the print server by using Manual Setup follow the steps:
1.Run PCONSOLE in NetWare 3.x or NetWare 4.x and create the necessary parameters (Refer to your Novell NetWare print server/Services manual for details).
2.Log into your NetWare file server as a Supervisor (Admin.) or equivalent. From your Windows 95/98/Me, run PSAdmin.
