How to install the C54PSERVU within Windows Vista
This document describes how to install your printer using the Conceptronic C54PSERVU print server within
Windows Vista.

1. Installing the printer

Before you can print using the C54PSERVU you will need to install your printer as local printer. This means
you will have to connect it to your computer and install the correct Windows Vista drivers for your printer.
When correctly installed, your printer should be mentioned as default printer in Windows Vista. Check this by
going to "Start" » "Control Panel" » "Printers". In our example, we installed an Epson Stylus Photo 810, as
can be seen in the screenshot below. The green check icon represents the default printer.

When the printer is installed correctly as local printer, you can disconnect it from your computer and
connect it to the C54PSERVU in the network. Make sure you turn the printer on, otherwise the C54PSERVU
cannot recognize it.
