Setting up the DP-301P+
Installing the Print Server
WARNING
:
Configuration problems may result if the Print Server is powered up
without first establishing its network connection.
Follow this procedure to avoid complications at the configuration stage.
1. Confirm proper operation of the printers to be connected to the DP-301P+.
2. When you have confirmed proper operation of the printer, switch its power OFF.
3. Confirm that your network is operating normally.
4. Connect the DP-301P+ RJ-45 Connector to the network, using an Ethernet CAT5
cable.
5. While the printer is powered OFF, install the DP-301P+ parallel port connector into
the parallel port on the network printer.
6. Switch on the connected printer.
7. Plug the AC power adapter’s DC output plug into the DC 5V power socket on the
rear panel of the Print Server.
8. Plug the power adapter into a power outlet. This will supply power to the Print
Server, as it has no external power switch. The green Power LED on the Print
Server’s front panel should illuminate steadily, and the Print Server’s Self-Test will
proceed.

Power ON Self-Test
Every DP-301P+ has been factory-tested to operate properly.
When the DP-301P+ is powered ON, it also 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 LPT LED indicator following the Self-Test. Preliminary to the actual
component tests, the three LED indicators are tested to confirm their steady and
flashing operation.
Immediately after power-up, all three of the green LEDs should illuminate steadily
for several seconds. Then the LPT LED should light OFF. Irregularity of any of the
three LEDs during these LED tests may mean there is a problem with the LEDs
themselves.
The actual component tests immediately follow the LED tests. A normal (no fault)
result is signaled by a simultaneous flashing of the LPT LED three times, followed
by a quiescent state with the LPT LED dark.
If the Self-Test routine traps any component error, then following the LED tests the
Self-Test will halt and the LPT LED will continuously signal the error according to
the following table. In the event of any such error signal, contact your dealer for
correction of the faulty unit.

Getting Started
Below is a sample network using the DP-301P+. The DP-301P+ has a built- in
Web-based management feature that allows users to easily configure and
manage multiple print queues through TCP/IP.
For a list of printers that are compatible with the DP-301P+, please see the Appendix
in this manual. The compatibility list is not comprehensive. Even if it is not included
in the list, your printer may be compatible with the DP-301P+.
