Chapter 3: Connecting the PrintServer

Overview

Before starting the physical installation, make a note of the PrintServer's Default Name that is located on the
bottom of the PrintServer. There is a bar code sticker with an SC number printed on it (for example, SCA71107).
This number is used in the PrintServer driver installation.

Connecting the USB PrintServer to your Network

1. Plug one end of the Ethernet network cable into one of the PrintServer's LAN Ports (1-4). (See Figure 3-1.)
2. Connect the other end of the cable into your networked hub, switch, or router. The distance between the
PrintServer and the other device should not exceed 328 feet (100 meters).
3. Use the USB cable to connect your printer to the PrintServer's USB port. Plug the Type A connector end into
the PrintServer (Figure 3-2) and the Type B connector end into the printer.
4. Power on your printer.
5. Plug the power adapter cord into the PrintServer's Power port, which is located on the right side of the
PrintServer. (See Figure 3-3.)
6. Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to use the power adapter
that is supplied with the PrintServer. Use of a
different power adapter could damage the
PrintServer.
