1.5 Contents of the User’s Manual
Chapter 2 explains print server’s hardware installation and configuration. It
is strongly recommended for you to read.
The following chapters introduce:
Chapter 3. Windows Peer-to-Peer Network
Chapter 4. Windows NT/2000/2003 Server-Based Networks
Chapter 5. NetWare Network
Chapter 6. UNIX System Network
You may select the appropriate chapters and sections to read depending
on your network printing’s requirement.
Chapter 7 and chapter 8 introduce print server’s management and
configuration utilities on Windows and Web Browser’s environment
respectively. You may select the appropriate management utility
according to the administrator’s computer platform.
Chapter 9 introduces the commands that can be used in print server
management through Telnet.
Chapter 10 introduces Print Server’s IPP Printing function and setup
procedure. The IPP Printing provides a convenient way to print
documents across the Internet by the IPP protocol.
Chapter 11 introduces how to setup LPR printing in MAC OS.

function will help to find the IP address of the print server and enables
user directly link to the web page of the print server without entering the IP
Address of the print server in web browser.
Chapter 13 In Windows XP SP2, you may not find any print server listed
on the “Available Ports” in “Network Ports Quick Setup”. Please follow the
instruction in this chapter and resolve the problem.

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 printers, it is recommended that you power on the print server
before the printer.

3. Windows Peer-to-Peer Network
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:
Install administrator’s utilities into his/her computer.
Configure print server from administrator’s configuration utility.
2. Client Installation and Configuration (refer to section 3 for more
detailed information).
Client users must install Windows PTPP driver (Peer-to-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).
