Status LED

The Status LED on the xPrintServer device is incorporated into the “X” letter of the Lantronix logo on the top of the device. The behavior of this LED indicates the type of activity occurring in the xPrintServer device. The Status LED color is orange when lit, and specific display patterns indicate the specific type of activity. The LED may display a solid light, display no light, slowly glow on, slowly glow off, or flash on/off.

xPrintServer User Guide 10

Installation Steps

With all xPrintServer package contents and the requisite user-supplied items listed above, you may begin installation.
1. Connect the xPrintServer to the network with the Ethernet cable. The xPrintServer can be
connected to a router, switch or hub anywhere on your network.
2. Power on the xPrintServer with the supplied power cord. The xPrintServer will automatically
set-up all printers on your network and/or USB-connected printers. The glowing “X” will blink quickly for about 30 seconds, and then it will pulse slowly to show it’s ready for printing.
3. Monitor the LEDs on the xPrintServer for activity and status information (See Table 2-1
Status LED, Top of Device).

Topology Support

The xPrintServer is hardwired (via standard CAT-5) cabling to a router, switch or hub. The system requires an Access Point (A/P) be also hardwired and connected to the network. The iOS devices associates with the A/P and communicates to the xPrintServer when a print job is ready to be processed. The xPrintServer communicates with network attached printer(s); the printers may either be wired or wirel es sly connected to the network.
2: Installation
For the xPrintServer to auto-detect printers on bootup, the xPrintServer and printers must be on the same subnet. After auto-detection has been completed, the xPrintServer can then be relocated to a different subnet (Wi-Fi connected subnet that iOS devices are connected to) assuming that subnet can route to the previous subnet.
The xPrintServer uses Zeroconf to advertise print services to the iOS device(s) and requires either one or both of the following:
Both the iOS device and the xPrintServer are on the same subnet. The iOS device and xPrintServer are on different subnets but multicast traffic is
communicated between the subnets.
Multicast configuration and support can be found in the Lantronix knowledgebase. You may
perform word searches, such as for “multicast”, at
http://www.lantronix.com/resources/
.

Discovering New Printers

Note: Discovery in the xPrintServer from a PC requires Bonjour®, which may be installed via
iTunes® or Safari or Bonjour Print Helper ® at
www.apple.com.
All printers ar e typi cally added and configured to the xPrintServer via Discovery where the xPrintServer discovers and provisions all network-connected printers as AirPrint printers.
Auto Discovery: Each time the xPrintServer starts up, the Discovery protocol runs one time
automatically.
xPrintServer User Guide 20
4: Configuration
Description
Discovery: The Admin user may activate Discovery at will through the xPrintServer user
interface any time after the xPrintServer is up and running.
Note: Only printers listed among the Lantronix xPrintServer published list of printers will be auto-
provisioned after Discovery (see http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/mobile-print-
servers/supported-printer-list.html). Configuration options to manually add a printer and modify
advanced printer settings are available under Printers > Advanced. Use these advanced options only if instructed to do so by Lantronix Technical Support.

Configuring Printers through Discovery

The Admin user may utilize the instructions to discover and provision network-connec ted pr int ers installed since the xPrintServer last st arted up or printers on other networks if their IP addresses have been added (see Adding a Printer IP Address).
1. Login to the xPrintServer user interface (see Logging In) as the Admin user.
2. Click the Printer tab to access the Printer page.
A list of all currently configured printers will be listed on this page. All printers which were discovered and configured at the xPrintServer startup will also be
listed here with “Auto Discovered” listed under the Location column.

Renaming xPrintSe rver Device

As part of the initialization process, the xPrintServer registers a Lantronix-specif ic Bonj o ur Service Type (lantronix-ips._tcp which uses the default device name of xPrintServer). As with any Bonjour discovery application, you can find your xPrintServer or any Bonjour­supported web browser using the URL: http://<devicename>.local, substituting the <devicename> with the name of the device. Therefore, you would search for your xPrintServer device with http://xprintserver.local by default. If you change the default device name, the xPrintServer URL used to access the xPrintServer web interface would also be modified. For instance, if the default name xprintserver is renamed to printer1, the browser URL address would be http://printer1.local.
Note: All Apple devices natively include Bonjour Services. MS Windows Operating Systems do
not include Bonjour Service and will require an installation of an application that includes Bonjour Service for Windows, such as the Apple “Bonjour Print Services for Windows” or the Apple Safari for Windows. Once Bonjour Service for Windows has been installed, the xPrintServer can be discovered using the configured <name>.local in the web browser, as described above.
The directions below can be used to rename an xPrintServer device to whatever name the Admin user designates. This is a useful function in situations where there are multiple xPrintServers on a network as each device should have a unique name. Changing the xPrintServer name requires a restart to use the new xPrintServer name.
4: Configuration
1. Login to the xPrintServer user interface (see Logging In) as the Admin user.
2. Click the Admin tab to access the Admin menu. A list of all available Admin user configuration options appears to the left of the screen (see Figure 4-5).
3. Click the Name link on the left side of the page to access the Change xPrintServer Name page. The Current Name of your device will display (xPrintServer).

5. Click the Chang e Name button to submit the new name.
6. Click Yes in the confirmation popup to continue (or No to cancel action) renam ing your xPrintServer device.
7. Wait 35 seconds. When the renaming of your unit is complete, the xPrintServer device will automatically restart, bringing you back to the Change xPrintServer Name page where your new device name will display.

Resetting the xPrintServer to Factory Defaults

Resetting the xPrintServer to factory default wipes out all configuration information and resets the xPrintServer configuration parameters to the original factory settings. There are two ways to reset the xPrintServer to factory default settings: through the user interface or utilizing the reset button on the xPrintServer device.

Via the User Interface

The Admin user may utilize these directions to reset the xPrintServer to factory default settings through the Reset Unit to Factory Defaults page of the xPrintServer user interface. A device restart automatically follows a reset.
1. Login to the xPrintServer user interface (see Logging In) as Admin user.
2. Click the Admin tab to access the Admin menu. A list of all available Admin user configuration options appears to the left of the screen (see Figure 4-5).

5. Click Yes in the confirmation popup that appears (or No to cancel this action). The unit automatically restarts in order to complete resetting to factory defaults.
6. Wait for the xPrintServer to reboot. When the reset to factory default process is complete and the device restarted, you will be brought back to System Status on the Home Page. Authentication (Logging In) will be required to access the xPrintServer user interface.

Via the Hardware Reset Button

Use these directions to reset the xPrintServer to factory default settings utilizing the Reset button on the bottom of the xPrintServer device. This button is accessible through a hole in the case.
To reset the unit to factory defaults, perform the following steps:
1. Place the end of a paperclip or similar object into the reset opening (pin-sized hole on the bottom of the device) and press for a minimum of 10 seconds. Within the 10 seconds, the “X” Status LED on top of the xPrintServer unit will display a solid orange light to indicate the device is rebooting (see Table 2-1) after which it will begin to blink.
2. Remove the paperclip to release the button. This procedure restores factory default settings to the configuration and reboots the unit.
