INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your TE100-P21 3-Port Print Server, the easiest and fastest way to deploy printers on your network.
This 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 PC/Notebook and print server anywhere you wish to locate wireless 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 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 powerful software utility PS-Utility and PS Monitor Setup, the user-friendly program that allows you to complete further settings for the print server.

Installing the Print Server
Follow these steps for a trouble-free start of print server operations with your Print Server.
1. Confirm that your network is operating normally.
2. 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 USB or Parallel 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-in with a default IP Address (e.g.
192.168.0.1). 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.

PRINTING IN WINDOWS
98SE/ME
The Print Server can provide print services to TCP/IP networks using the LPR/LPD network printing protocol. Most UNIX systems are capable of supporting LPD, as is Windows NT/2000.
This LPR for TCP/IP Printing client gives Windows 98SE/ME workstations the ability to print using the LPR/LPD printing protocol. Though it is possible to print to Print Servers from Windows 98SE/ME, this capability is useful if primarily administer your network from UNIX systems, or if you want to print from workstations that are only accessible through IP routing.
- 54 -
Installing the LPR for TCP/IP Printing Client
Before your Windows 98SE/ME workstation can print using the LPR protocol, you will need to install the client program, as follows:
1. Make sure that you have installed the TCP/IP protocol, and
have properly configured the Windows 98SE/ME TCP/IP settings. You can install the protocol from the Network control panel if necessary.
2. From the Start menu, choose the Settings submenu, then the
Control Panel item within it. Windows will display the
Control Panel folder.
3. Double-click on the Network icon in the Control Panel folder.
4. Click on the Add... button on the Configuration tab.
5. Windows will ask for the type of component to add. Select
Client and click Add... to continue.
6. When Windows asks you to select a network client, click the
Have Disk... button.
7. Insert the Print Server installation CD in your computer’s CD-
ROM, enter the proper pathname (for example , D:\ lpr), and click OK.
- 55 -
8. Select the LPR for TCP/IP Printing client and click OK.
9. Windows will copy the necessary files, and return to the
Network dialog. Click OK to let Windows restart.
- 56 -
Adding LPR Printer Ports
Once you have installed the client, and have enabled TCP/IP printing for the Print Servers, then you need to add a printer port for each printer you will be printing to using the lpr/lpd protocol. To add a printer port,
1. From the Start menu, choose the Settings submenu, then the
Control Panel item within it. Windows will display the
Control Panel folder.
2. Double-click on the Network icon in the Control Panel folder.
3. Choose the LPR for TCP/IP Printing client and click the
Properties button.
4. Click the Add Port... button to add a new lpd-accessible printer
port.
- 57 -
5. Enter the IP address of the Print Server and the name of the
printer port that you will be printing to, then press OK.
Hint: You can get the Port name (same as print name) from the print server’s system information through web browser. Please refer Configuration > System for port information. Please make sure the port name is correspondence to the port you connected.
6. Click OK to leave the LPR for TCP/IP Printing Properties
window.
- 58 -
Printing from Windows 98SE/ME
After you have added the necessary printer ports, you can add a printer device for printing to the port. To enable printing to an lpr­accessible printer port from Windows 98SE/ME:
1. From the Start menu, choose the Settings submenu, then the
Printers item within it. Windows will display the Printers folder.
2. Double-click on the Add Printer icon in the Printers folder.
Windows will start the Add Printer Wizard.
Click the Next > button to continue to the next screen.
- 59 -
3. Choose the Network Printer selection and click the Next >
button to continue.
4. Enter the name of the port, as displayed in the LPR for TCP/IP
Printing Port List.
Alternatively, you can click Browse... and locate the printer port.
TCP/IP printing ports are located under the Entire Network icon, within the Print Servers - TCP/IP LPR icon.
- 60 -
Press OK when you have located the proper printer port. Click Next > to continue to the next step.
5. At this point Windows will ask you to choose the correct
printer driver for the printer. Choose you printer’s make and model from the list, or use the driver disk included with the printer. When you have chosen the correct printer, click Next > to continue.
6. Windows will then ask for a name for the new printer, and ask
whether or not you want to set the printer as the Windows default printer. Click Finish (or Next >) to continue.
7. Windows may ask you whether or not you wish to print a test
page to make sure that the printer will work correctly. When the test page is done printing, you will be asked whether or not the test page printed.
- 61 -
Setting TCP/IP Printing Settings
The lpr client’s Properties dialog allows you to change several of the client’s settings. To change these settings,
1. From the Start menu, choose the Settings submenu, then the
Control Panel item within it. Windows will display the
Control Panel folder.
2. Double-click on the Network icon in the Control Panel folder.
3. Choose the LPR for TCP/IP Printing client and click the
Properties button.
- 62 -
4. Click on the Settings tab to access the lpr client settings.
Change the settings as necessary, and press OK to let the changes take effect.
The parameters are as follows: Communication Timeout Determines how long, in seconds,
the system will wait before determining that it has lost connection with lpr/lpd print servers.
Retry Interval Determines how long, in seconds, the system
will wait before retrying a lost connection.
Retry Times Determines how many times the system will
retry a lost connection with an lpr/lpd print server. If Infinite is checked, it will retry indefinitely.
Spool Path Gives the directory path where the system will
temporarily store lpr/lpd print server job files.
