the easiest and fastest way to deploy printers on your network.
The MFP print server allows you to share your All-in-One multi-functional printer on your
LAN. You can do printing, faxing, and scanning on any of your computers that connects
to the network. It also features a Web-based Configuration Utility, which allows you to
set up the Print Server through the web browser easily and quickly. It manages the flow
of print files from computers to the connected printer, delivering print jobs to high-
performance printer much faster than a file server or a PC acting as a print server can.

2 Multi-Functional Printer Server Installation
2.1 Connecting the Printer Server
WARNING: Only a USB printer may be connected to the USB port of the Printer Server.
Connecting any other USB device to the Printer Server may damage the Printer Server.
Note: Before connecting the hardware you must install the printer on each computer
you plan to use with the printer. Make sure that you are able to print, scan, and fax from
each with your multi-functional printer directly connected to your computer(s).
Step 1 Power down the printer and the printer server.
Step 2 Connect one end of a networking cable to your router, then connect the other
end to the Ethernet port on the back of the print server.
Step 3 Connect the USB cable coming from your printer into the USB port on the printer
server.
Step 4 Turn on the printer. Once the printer is powered on, connect the print server’s
power adapter to an electrical outlet.

2.2 Installing the PS Software
Step 1 Insert the Utility CD into your CD-ROM drive. When the autorun screen
appears, select Install PS Software from the menu.
Note: If the autorun window does not appear automatically, go to Start -> Run and type
D:\Utility\Setup.exe (where Dis the letter of your CD-ROM drive) and click OK.
