Chapter 2: Getting to Know the PrintServer

The Bottom Panel

The PrintServer’s ports and Reset button are located on the bottom panel.

Power

The Power port is where you will connect the power adapter.

Ethernet

The Ethernet port is where you will connect the PrintServer to your wired network. (This is
optional.)

USB Printer

The USB Printer port is where you will connect the USB printer to the PrintServer.

The USB icon (right) designates a USB port. The PrintServer comes with a USB
cable. One end has a rectangular connector called Type A. The other end has a
square connector called Type B. The USB cable’s Type A end connects to the
PrintServer, and the Type B end connects to the printer.

Reset Button

Use the Reset Button to reset the PrintServer to its factory defaults or print a test page. The
instructions are provided on the right side of this page.

IMPORTANT: Resetting the PrintServer will
delete all of your settings and replace them
with the factory defaults. Do not reset the
PrintServer if you want to retain the settings.
