Introduction

Introduction
D-Link’s DPR-1020 Print Server allows you to connect a USB Multi-Function Printer (MFP) to your existing Ethernet network. This product lets multiple users print, scan and fax using the connected printer. The DPR-1020 also manages the flow of print files and delivers print jobs quickly and efficiently.
The DPR-1020 comes with easy to use software compatible with most Windows-based networks. Protocol support for TCP/IP, NetBEUI, and AppleTalk are provided to ensure seamless connection to major networking operating systems.
The DPR-1020 has a built in web configurator that allows users to easily configure the Print Server and manage multiple print queues through TCP/IP.
The DPR-1020 improves upon network printing services in the following ways:
The DPR-1020 manages the print file traffic for all of the connected printers. This
provides relief for your file servers and allows them to be used to their full capacity for file access or other network services. On peer-to-peer networks, workstations can print directly to the Print Server without increasing the load of another workstation or server.
The DPR-1020 Print Server is portable and cheap compared to a PC-based print
server. This means you’re able to deploy the DPR-1020 in locations that offer maximum convenience to users.
Use the included PS-Link software to enable your computer to use your MFP
printer’s print/scan/fax/copy functions. PS-Link helps you to install your printer’s

manufacturer drivers without creating a physical USB connection from your printer to your computer. After the software provid ed by your p rinter’s manufacturer is inst all ed, using the printer’s scan and fax functions will be exactly the same as how it’s described in your printer’s manual.
Use PS-Wizard to easily add a network printer on Windows for traditional TCP/IP
printing.
The DPR-1020 is compatible with all major network operating systems and protocols:
TCP/IP
UNIX lpr/lpd (HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, SCO, UnixWare, IBM AIX) Windows NT/2000, Windows 95/98SE/ME, Windows XP/Vista, NetWare 5.x NDPS LPR Remote

NetBEUI
Windows NT/2000/XP, Windows 95/98SE/ME, Windows for Workgroups, Microsoft LAN Manager, IBM LAN Server

External Features

External Features

Port Connectors

The DPR-1020’s USB printer port is located on the rear panel of the device and is configurable using the web configurator.
The default IP address of the DPR-1020 is automatically acquired from a DHCP server on the network. If a DHCP server cannot be found the default IP address for the DPR-1020 will be 192.168.0.10.
NOTE: Your PC’s IP Address must be in the same subnet as the Print Server’s IP
Address for the two devices to communicate. (For example, if MFP server’s IP Address is 192.168.0.10, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, then your computer’s IP Address should be 192.168.0.x, where x is a value between 1-254, excluding 10.)

External Features

LED Indicators

The top of the Print Server features three LEDs:
Power
A steady blue light confirm s that the Print Server is turned ON.
USB
A steady blue light indicates the printer is online and successfully connected to the print server. This light will also blink to indicate that data is being transferred between the print server and printer.
Link/Act
A steady blue light confirm s that the Print Server has a connection to an Ethernet network. This light will also blink when receiving or transmitting dat a on the network.

Setting up the DPR-1020

Setting up the DPR-1020

Installing the Print Server

WARNING:
without first establishing a network connection.
Follow the steps below to avoid any complications during the hardware inst allation:
1. Confirm that the printer you will use to connect to the DPR-1020 is operating correctly.
2. When you have confirmed that the printer is operating correctly, switch its power OFF.
3. Confirm that your network is operating normally.
4. Using a CAT 5 Ethernet cable, connect the DPR-1020 Ethernet Port (labelled LAN) to the network.
There may be configuration problems if the Print Server is turned on
5. While the printer is turned OFF, connect the USB printer cable to the printer and then to the USB port on the Print Server.
6. Switch on the printer.
7. Insert the power adapter’s output plug into the DC 5V power socket on the rear panel of the Print Server.
8. Connect the other end of the power adapter into a power outlet. This will supply power to the Print Server. The blue LED on the Print Server’s front panel should turn on and the Print Server’s self-test will proceed.

Setting up the DPR-1020

Power ON Self-Test

Every DPR-1020 has been factory-tested to operate properly.
When the DPR-1020 is powered ON, it automatically performs a Self-Test on each of its major components. The final result of the Self-Test is signaled by the state of the USB LED indicator following the Self-Test. Preliminary to the actual component tests, the three LED indicators are tested to confirm their operation.
Immediately after power-up, all three of the blue LEDs should illuminate steadily for several seconds. Then the USB LED should light OFF simultaneously. Irregularity of any of the three LEDs during these LED tests may mean there is a problem with the LEDs themselves.
The actual component tests immediately follow the LED tests. A normal (no fault) result is signaled by simultaneous flashing of the LEDs three times, followed by a quiescent state with all three LEDs dark.
If the Self-Test routine traps any component error, then following the LED tests the Self-Test will halt and the LEDs will continuously signal the error according to the following table. In the event of any such error signal, contact your dealer for correction of the faulty unit.

Getting Started

Getting Started
Below is a sample network using the DPR-1020. The DPR-1020 has a built- in web configurator that allows users to easily configure the Print Server and manage multiple print queues through TCP/IP.
WARNING: Only a USB printer may be connected to the USB port of the DPR-1 020.
Do not connect any other USB devices to the USB port of the DPR-1020; to do so, may damage the unit and will void the warranty for this product. For a list of printers that are compatible with the DPR-1020, please see the Appendix in this manual. The compatibility list is not comprehensive. Even if it is not included in the list, your printer may be compatible with the DPR-1020.

Using PS-Link

PS-Link (Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista), is a utilit y that will help you use your printer
manufacturer drivers with the MFP print server. Using the Link command you can simulate a physical USB connection between your computer and printer, thus enabling you to complete the installation of the manufacturer drivers without making a USB connection to your computer .
To start PS-Link, go to StartÎ ProgramsÎ PS Software, and click PS-Link.
PS-Link will then start and automatically search for MFP servers in the same network segment. If the installation has been successful, you will see that the name of your MFP server has been discovered and is listed in the Server Name column. If your MFP server is not listed, please check your network connectivity and click the Discover button again.
