Single port Multiprotocol Fast Ethernet Print Server Hardware User Guide BOUT THIS UIDE This guide describes the single port Multiprotocol Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Print Server features, installation procedures, troubleshooting methods are explained in detail. The software and related documentation included with your Print Server are important parts of the Print Server package.
NTRODUCTION The Print Server is a pocket-sized device for connecting a printer directly to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet local-area network (LAN). The Print Server will manage the flow of data from networked computers to the connected printer, delivering jobs to the printer much faster than a computer acting as a file server or print server can.

Single port Multiprotocol Fast Ethernet Print Server Hardware User Guide This indicator blinks (goes off briefly) when the Print Server is transmitting to the network. ♦ Lk/Rx Steady or flashing green confirms that the Print Server has a good connection to the network. This indicator blinks (goes off briefly) when the Print Server is receiving from the network.
NPACKING AND NSTALLATION This chapter explains how to install your Print Server and connect it to the network. It also describes the automatic power-on self-test. Unpacking and Inspection Carefully remove all items from the package. In addition to this Hardware Guide, be certain that you have: ♦...
Single port Multiprotocol Fast Ethernet Print Server Hardware User Guide 1. Confirm proper operation of the printer to be connected to the Print Server. 2. When you have confirmed proper operation of the printer, switch its power off. 3. Confirm that your network is operating normally. 4.
Single port Multiprotocol Fast Ethernet Print Server Hardware User Guide Indicator Test Immediately upon power-up, all three indicators will show steady green for several seconds. Then the LPT indicator will flash three times while the Pw/Tx and Lk/Rx indicators remain steady. Irregularity of any indicator during this test indicates that there is a problem with the indicators themselves.
