Because the DP-301P+ is very portable and inexpensive compared to a PC-based

print server, and Print Server connects to your file servers through the network,

printers can be deployed to locations of maximum convenience to users.

The DP-301P+ offers extraordinary flexibility, operating with all major network

operating systems and protocols:

±

TCP/IP

UNIX lpr/lpd (HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, SCO, UnixWare, IBM AIX) Windows NT/2000,

Windows 95/98SE/ME, Windows XP/Vista,

NetWare 5.x NDPS LPR Remote

Printing

±

NetBEUI

Windows NT/2000/XP, Windows 95/98SE/ME, Windows for Workgroups, Microsoft

LAN Manager, IBM LAN Server

±

AppleTalk

MacOS EtherTalk

Furthermore, the print server features a useful software: PS-Wizard. PS-Wizard is

an user-friendly program used to complete further settings for the print server, and

assist you to easily add a printer on your computer. See also the “Using The

PS-Wizard” chapter in this manual for the details. The print server also supports

configuration and management via the Telnet protocol for networks without

Windows-compatible machines.

External Features

Port Connectors

The DP-301P+’s parallel port is located on its front panel. The port is configurable

using the Web Configuration Interface or the print server’s Telnet interface. The Print

Server’s Web configuration permits users to configure settings through the web

browser.

Default IP Address of DP-301P+ is set as automatically getting from DHCP server or

Router which build-in DHCP server.

NOTE

:

The PC’s IP Address must be in the same subnet as the print server’s IP

Address for the two devices to communicate. (For example, if print server’s IP

Address is 192.168.0.10, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, then your

computer’s IP Address should be 192.168.0.x, where x is a value between 1-254,

excluding 10.)

Rear Panel Connectors

Network Cable Connector

The Print Server’s rear panel feature an RJ-45 connector for connection to

10Base-T Ethernet cabling or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet cabling (which should

be Category 5 twisted-pair cable). The port supports the NWay protocol, allowing

the Print Server to automatically detect or negotiate the transmission speed of the

network.

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 rear panel of the print server features three LED indicators:

±

Steady green confirms that the Print Server is powered ON.

±

LPT

Lights up to indicate printing activity.

±

ACT

Steady green confirms that the Print Server has a good connection to the Ethernet or

Fast Ethernet network. The indicator blinks off briefly to indicate that the Print Server

is receiving or transmitting from the network.

These three indicators are also used by the Print Server’s Power-ON Self Test

(POST) to indicate any hardware failures.

6

Front Panel

Parallel Port Connector

The front panel of the print server features the parallel port connector. Plug this

connector directly into the parallel port on your network printer. There is no need for

a parallel port cable between the print server and your network printer.
