BOUT UIDE This manual describes the 3 Parallel Port Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Multiprotocol Print Server, including a description of the print server’s features, as well as the print server installation procedures and troubleshooting self-test results. For information about software configuration of the Print Server to allow it to be used with your network, consult the PS Admin User’s Guide included with your Print Server.
3 Parallel Port Multiprotocol Fast Ethernet Print Server User’s Guide The Print Server is a compact print server which connects to your Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network anywhere you wish to locate printer services. It manages the flow of print files from your workstations or file servers to its connected printers, delivering print jobs to high-performance printers much faster than a file server or a PC acting as a print server can.

The Print Server's parallel printer ports are IEEE 1284 compliant high-speed bidirectional ports, which can transmit to high-speed laser printers much faster than a PC's parallel printer port. High-speed laser printers connected to the Print Server's parallel ports can be operated at their full capacity. Because the Print Server is very portable and inexpensive compared to a PC-based print server, and because the Print Server connects to your file servers through the network,...
3 Parallel Port Multiprotocol Fast Ethernet Print Server User’s Guide External Features This section describes the externally visible features of the Print Server. Port Connectors The Print Server’s three printer ports are located on its rear panel. Three identical parallel ports are labeled LPT1, LPT2 and LPT3. These printer ports are independently configurable using the PS Admin program or the print server’s interface.
DC Power Connector The DC power input connector is located on the Print Server’s rear panel and is labeled DC 5V. LED Indicators The front panel of the Print Server features five LED indicators: Front Panel LED Indicators Power/Tx Steady or flashing green confirms that the Print Server is powered on.

This chapter explains how to install your Print Server and connect it to the network. It also describes the print server self test indications. Unpacking and Inspecting the Print Server Carefully remove all items from the package. In addition to this Hardware User’s Guide, be certain that you have: One 3 Parallel Port print server One AC power adapter suitable for your country’s electric...
3 Parallel Port Multiprotocol Fast Ethernet Print Server User’s Guide Installing the Print Server WARNING: Configuration problems may result if the Print Server establishing its network connection. Follow this procedure to avoid complications at the configuration stage. 1. Confirm proper operation of each of the printers to be connected to the Print Server.
Power On Self-Test When the Print Server is powered on, it automatically performs a self-test on each of its major components. The final result of the self- test is signaled by the state of the LPT1, LPT2, and LPT3 LED indicators following the self-test.
