Common operating systems for clients are classified as
following:
Windows 95/98SE/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003
Our print server system provides PTPP (Peer-to-Peer
Printing) driver and utilities for Windows
95/98SE/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003 users. PTPP (Peer-to-Peer
Printing) supports TCP/IP protocol.
In the client installation procedure, after PTPP (Peerto-Peer Printing Driver) is installed into Windows, the
system will automatically (manual configuration is also
allowed) search all the print servers on the network, and
then add their printing ports into Windows’ printing port
(see below).

1.4 Network Printing Environment
Common network environment are classified as
following:
Windows Peer-to-Peer Network
The client’s PTPP driver will use TCP/IP protocol to
print through print server.
Windows NT/2000/2003 Network
Network printing function will become available after
PTPP driver is installed into Windows NT/2000/2003.
Adding this printing function into Windows NT/2000/2003
Server allows print queue, user authority management, and
many other advanced features to be used.

2. Hardware Installation
1. Unpack the print server package and verify that all
the items listed in the section 1.2 are provided.
2. Connect the print server to the printer you want to
share on the network.
3. Connect the print server to your network by attached
the network cable to the UTP port of the print server.
4. Connect the power adapter to the print server. The
print server will perform the Power-On-Self-Test (POST)
after it is powered on. During the POST, the three Printer
Port LEDs will be on. When the LEDs are unlighted, the
print server is ready.
NOTE1: MUST use the power adapter shipped with the print
server, do NOT use any other power adapter from any
sources.
NOTE2: To prevent the compatibility problem between print
server and a few printer, it is recommended that you
power on the print server before the printer.

3.1 System Architecture
Print server supports Windows Peer-to-Peer network
printing mode, which is suitable for most medium and small
network environments. Through quick and simple
installation procedure, users can immediately enjoy the
convenience of network printing.
Installation procedure is separated into following two
parts:
1. Administrator Installation and Setup (refer to
section 2 for more detailed information).
System administrators must:
Ÿ Install administrator’s utilities into his/her
computer.
Ÿ Configure print server from administrator ’s
configuration utility.
16
2. Client Installation and Configuration (refer to
section 3 for more detailed information).
Client users must install Windows PTPP driver (Peerto-Peer Printing) for network printing.
In addition, after PTPP is installed, the system will
automatically search for all print servers on the network,
and add the printing port of the print servers into Windows’
printing port (refer to Network Printing Architecture in
section 1.4 for more detailed information).
17
3.2 Administrator Installation and Setup
