INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your 10/100Mbps Parallel Print Server,
the easiest and fastest way to deploy printers on your network.
This compact print server can connect your network through a switch
or hub between PC/Notebook and print server anywhere you wish to
locate printer services. It manages the flow of print files from your
workstation or file server to its connected printers, delivering print
jobs to high-performance printers much faster than a file server or a
PC acting as a print server can.
The 10/100Mbps Parallel Print Server features a Web-based
Configuration Utility, which allows you to set up the print server
through the web browser easily and quickly. It also includes a
simple software utility PS-Utility, a user-friendly program that allows
you to complete settings for the print server.

Installing the Print Server
Follow these steps for a trouble-free start of print server operations
with your pocket-sized Print Server.
1. Confirm proper operation of the printer to be connected to the print
server.
2. When you have confirmed proper operation of the printer, turn off
the power.
3. Confirm that your network is operating normally.
4. Connect the print server to the network (through the RJ-45
connector of the print server).
5. While the printer is powered off, connect the print server to the
printer’s port.
6. Turn on the printer’s power.
7. Connect the DC end of the AC Power adapter to the DC power
input socket of the print server and the AC end to the wall outlet.
This will supply power to the print server immediately.
NOTE: This print server is built with a default IP Address. To
prevent from any conflict in your network, it is recommended to use
the PS-Utility program to change the IP setting when there is some
other device’s IP Address is the same as the print server’s default
IP Address.

the lpr/lpd network printing protocol. Most U
capable of supporting lpd, as is Windows NT/2000.
This LPR for TCP/IP Printing client gives Windows 95/98/Me
workstations the ability to print using the lpr/lpd printing protocol.
Though it is possible to print to Print Servers from Windows
95/98/Me, this capability is useful if primarily administer your
network from U

PRINTING IN MACOS
Rendezvous Uses in MAC OS 10.2
The latest version of MAC OS provides a new feature that is
called Rendezvous. Rendezvous is a revolutionary networking
technology standard that lets you create an instant network of
computers and devices, which can be used throughout Mac OS
10.2 to provide innovative ways to share files and printers and
even contact other people on the network.
For the printer connection, the Mac OS 10.2 Print Center
application uses Rendezvous to discover Rendezvous-enabled
printers on the network. When you add your computer to a
network, Print Center automatically discovers the available
printers. All you have to do is selecting the one you want to
use and then start printing. You can add a new printer to the
network and all the users on the network will see the new printer
automatically appear in their Print Center, without any
configuration.
The following instructions provide a common procedure of
installing the printer:
