Chapter 3: Connecting the PrintServer
Overview
Before starting the physical installation, make a note of the PrintServer’s Default Name, which is located on the
bottom of the PrintServer. There is a bar code sticker with an LK number printed on it (for example, LK71107).
This number is used during the PrintServer driver installation.
Connecting the PrintServer to Your Network

Plug one end of the Ethernet network cable into the PrintServer’s LAN port. (See Figure 3-1.)
2.
Connect the other end of the cable to 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 USB 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.
Use the parallel printer cable to connect your parallel printer to the PrintServer’s parallel port. Plug one end of
the cable into the PrintServer (Figure 3-3) and the other end into the printer.
5.
Power on your printer.
6.
Plug the power adapter into the PrintServer’s Power port. (See Figure 3-4.)
7.
Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet.
Figure 3-1: Connecting to the LAN Port
NOTE:
The PrintServer does not have an on/off
power switch.
Whenever its power adapter is
plugged into a power supply, the PrintServer is
powered on. The PrintServer can be powered on
before, during, or after your network is powered on.

Chapter 4: Configuring the PrintServer Using the Setup Wizard
Installation
To install the PrintServer, you will use the Setup CD-ROM to run the Setup Wizard. It is highly recommended that

is selected and
your PrintServer is listed by its default server name. Next to the PrintServer’s Server Name is its IP Address.
Note the IP Address so you can use it to access the PrintServer’s web-based utility, as described in “Chapter
