1 Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing your Wireless 1-Port USB 2.0 Multi-Functional Printer
Server. It is the easiest and fastest way to deploy printers on your network.
The Wireless MFP print server complies to IEEE 802.11g/b that allows you to share
your All-in-One multi-functional printer wirelessly on your local area network (LAN). You

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.

2.1 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
Note: The PS Software must be installed on all computers you plan to use with the
print server.
Step 1 Insert the Utility CD into your CD-ROM drive. When the autorun screen
appears, select Install PS Software from the menu.

Step 1 Click the Discover button and your printer should show up under Server Name.
If your print server does not show up, check all power and network cable connections to
the printer. You may also need to disable any software firewalls you have on your
computer.
Step 2 Once the printer server appears in the Server Name box, click on it. You should
see your printer next to Device name. Click on the Setup Wizard button.
