INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your TE100-P1U 1 Port USB Print
Server, the easiest and fastest way to deploy printers on your
network.
This compact print server can connect your network through an
Access Point under the infrastructure mode, or can be used in ad-hoc
mode for direct communication between computer/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 computer acting as a print
server can.
The pocket-sized 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.
