Step One: Connect the square end of a USB cable to

the USB port on your printer. Connect the thin rectangu­lar end of the USB cable to the USB port on the Print
Server. Make sure your printer power cable is plugged in
and the printer is turned on.

Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to your
router or switch and the other end to the
Ethernet port on the Print Server.

Connect the included power adapter to the power socket
on the USB Print Server. Plug the power adapter into a
standard power outlet.

Step Two: Make sure your computer is turned on. Insert the Installation CD-ROM into your CD-

ROM drive. Click Setup Wizard and follow the on-screen instructions to configure the settings of
the Print Server, to install the USB Print Server driver, and to set up the printer.

You will then need to install the software on any machine that will be using the printer over the
network. Insert the Installation CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. Click Additional Computers and
then click Next. Select User and then follow the on-screen instructions. For more detailed infor­mation, refer to the User Guide on the Installation CD-ROM.

Troubleshooting

For Macintosh and Linux assistance, refer to the Troubleshooting section in the User Guide on the
Installation CD-ROM.

The USB Print Server is not appearing in my network.

Possible Solution:

Make sure the USB Print Server is plugged in and receiving power.

Possible Solution:

Make sure the USB Print Server is securely connected to the router, switch, or Ethernet network
device on your network. A loose connection could keep you from being able to access the USB
Print Server. Make sure your router, switch, or Ethernet network device is receiving power and
turned on. Try repeating the installation steps.

Possible Solution:

Make sure that your computer has the TCP/IP network protocol installed. If you do not have the
TCP/IP network protocol installed, refer to the documentation for your operating system.

Possible Solution:

The USB Print Server might not be receiving an IP address or there might be an IP address conflict
with another device on the network. Unplug and then plug back in the power supply for the USB
Print Server. This will release the IP address and then allow the USB Print Server to receive a new
IP address from the DHCP server of your network.

Possible Solution:

If you are using an Ethernet crossover cable, the USB Print Server may not appear in your net­work. Make sure that you are using a standard Ethernet cable and not an Ethernet crossover
cable. If you are not sure if your Ethernet cable is a standard one or a crossover cable, try connect­ing the USB Print Server to your network device using a different Ethernet cable.

Possible Solution:

If the USB Print Server still does not appear in your network, repeat the Installation procedure.

The printer does not appear after connecting it to the USB Print Server.

Possible Solution:

Make sure the printer is securely connected to the USB Print Server. A loose connection could
keep you from being able to access the printer. Try repeating the installation steps.

The Status LED of the USB Print Server continuously stays lighted.

Possible Solution:

Reset the USB Print Server by unplugging the power supply and plugging it back in. If this doesn’t
reset the USB Print Server, restore the factory default settings. Unplug the power supply of the
USB Print Server, press and hold in the diagnostic button, and plug the power supply back in.
Continue to hold in the Diagnostic button for 10 seconds .

I have installed my multi-function printer, but my fax and scanner capabili­ties do not work.

Possible Solution:

If you have a multi-function printer (printer/fax/scanner) connected to the USB Print Server, only
the printer functionality will work. If you want to use the other features of your multi-function
printer, it must be connected directly to a computer.

I tried to install the software for Peer-to-Peer printing, but received an error
message and the installation was aborted.

Possible Solution:

If you have previously installed the USB Print Server software, you will need to uninstall it before
you can install the Peer-to-Peer software. Click Windows Start, Programs, and then U.S. Robotics
Print Server. Select Uninstall USB Print Server Driver and then follow the on-screen instructions.
When the uninstallation is complete, you will need to reboot your computer. You will then be able
to install the Peer-to-Peer software.

Some printing jobs do not print correctly.

Possible Solution:

Make sure you have the correct driver for your printer installed on each computer on your net­work. Refer to the documentation for your printer to verify this information.

Possible Solution:

If you are using an older, low speed printer, you may need to change the Handshake Signal con­figuration setting. Click Windows Start, Programs, and then U.S. Robotics Print Server. Select Bi-
Admin Mangement Utility. Click the Configuration icon and then click the Port tab. Change the
Handshake Signal to Busy & Ack and then click OK.

Possible Solution:

Your printer may be configured to start printing after the first page is spooled, which can cause
printing problems in certain applications. You will need to change this setting.
Windows 98, NT, and Me users: Click Windows Start, Control Panel, and then Printers. Select
your printer and then click File, Properties, and then Details. Click the Spool Settings button,
select Start printing after last page is spooled, and then click OK.

Windows 2000 users: Click Windows Start, Settings, and then Printers. Right-click your printer,
click Properties, and then click the Advanced tab. Select Start printing after last page is spooled
and then click OK.

Windows XP users: Click Windows Start and then Printers and Faxes. Right-click your printer,
click Properties, and then click the Advanced tab. Select Start printing after last page is spooled
and then click OK.
