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

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.
