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.

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

95/98/ME

The Print Server can provide print services to TCP/IP networks using
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
that are only accessible through IP routing.

NIX systems, or if you want to print from workstations

NIX systems are

Installing the LPR for TCP/IP
Printing Client

Before your Windows 95/98/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 95/98/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.

- 69 -

7. Insert the Print Server installation CD in your computer’s CD-

ROM, enter the proper pathname (for example , D:\ lpr), and
click OK.

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.

- 70 -

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.

- 71 -

4. Click the Add Port... button to add a new lpd-accessible printer

port.

5. Enter the IP address of the Print Server and the name of the

PRINTING IN MAC OS

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:
