It may take up to 2 minutes for the server information to appear.

If WP-Admin doesn’t pick up a signal from the print server, check the solutions beginning on page 41 in Setup and Installation.

When you see server information on the screen,

click STOP. Then click CONFIGURE.

When you see a message asking for

a password, click OK. You see the Wireless Server Configuration screen.

For descriptions of all the settings on the Wireless Server Configuration screen, see Appendix A in Setup

and Installation.

Before you begin, run WP-Admin and note the IP address of your print server. Then follow the instructions in one of the sections below, depending on which version of Windows you’re using.

Windows XP or 2000

Do one of the following:

In Windows XP: click Start > Control Panel > Printers and Other Hardware > Printers and Faxes.

In Windows 2000: click Start > Settings > Printers.

Right-click your printer icon, then click Properties.

On the Ports tab, select your printer (if necessary),

and click Add Port.

Select Standard TCP/IP Port and click New Port.

When you see the Add Standard TCP/IP

Printer Port Wizard, click Next.

Enter your print server’s IP address or server name

and click Next.

For Boot Method, select STATIC.

Enter an IP address that conforms to the

IP addressing scheme for your network.

For example, if you have two computers on your network whose IP addresses are

192.189.207.3 and 192.189.207.4, the print server’s IP address should begin with

192.189.207. The last part of the address can be any number between 2 and 254 except 3 or 4.

If your network supports DHCP, change only the last segment of the IP address, and make sure it is out of the range of DHCP assignments.

For example, if the last segment of assigned addresses is between 100 and 200, choose a number below 100 or above 200. Make sure you don’t use the same IP address as another node on your network.

Follow the instructions on the screen to complete

the wizard.
