1 Turn off the printer.

2 Plug the print server into

the printer’s parallel port. Squeeze the wire clips together until they lock in place on either side of the connector.

3 Connect the network cable to

the 10/100 connector on the print server, and then connect the other end of the cable to a hub or switch. Use a Category 5 twisted pair straight-through cable with RJ45 connectors.

NOTE: The print server will automatically use DHCP to obtain an IP address. If it cannot get an IP address this way, it will use the private IP address of 192.168.192.168.

4 Plug the AC adapter into the DCIN

connector on the print server. Connect the AC adapter’s power cord to the AC adapter.

5 Plug the power cord of the AC adapter into a

grounded electrical outlet. The lights on the print server will turn on.

6 Press and hold down the status sheet button on the print server, and then turn on the

printer. Continue to hold down the status sheet button for about 5 seconds. The STATUS light turns red as the print server initializes, while the DATA light beneath it stays green.

NOTE: It can take up to one minute to initialize the print server. When it is done initializing, its STATUS light turns green or orange.

7 When the print server is done initializing, press the status sheet button again for about two

seconds to print a report that is two pages long. If the status report prints, the print server is installed correctly.

CAUTION: Before disconnecting the print server from the printer, always turn off the printer and unplug the AC adapter.
