INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your TE100-P21 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.
