Installation
Connecting the Print Server to the Network
If you are installing the print server on a network that uses TCP/IP as the network
protocol, you may wish to configure it on a standalone computer first if you are not
using one of the Windows configuration utilities described in the next section. The
print server uses a default IP address of 192.168.2.2, which may be an existing IP or not
be on same subnet as other devices, depending on how the network is configured. If
that is the case, manually configure a computer with a compatible IP address first (e.g.
192.168.2.100) to configure the print server with an IP address that is compatible with
your network. If you need assistance, contact your network administrator or consult
the documentation for your operating system for additional information
1. Setup the printer to be connected in a location near a power outlet and network
connection (either a network cable connected to a hub/switch or a network outlet
that is properly terminated and actively connected to the network).
2. Connect the print server to the printer.
(a) For the USB model, use a standard USB or USB 2.0 A/B cable (not provided) and
connect it to the port on the printer (usually a type “B” connector). Connect the
opposite end to the printer server to the connector marked USB on the print server
(type “A”).
(b) For the parallel model, connect the print server directly to the data port on the
printer.
3. Connect a network cable to the print server’s LAN port. If using surface cabling, this
can be a single piece of cable connected directly to a network hub or switch. If using
premises cabling, this can be a patch cable connected to an active network data
jack.
4. Connect the power adapter to a wall outlet or other suitable power source. Connect
the opposite end to the connector on the print server..
