1. Introduction
1.1 Product Introduction
Thank you for purchasing and using our print server. This print server
allows your printer to become a shared device on the network. It offers printing
flexibility and manageability on your Local Area Network at an extremely low
cost and with an absolute minimum setup and maintenance required.
This print server provides an Ethernet network port (10/100Mbps Ethernet),
two USB 2.0 ports and one Parallel port for printers.
This print server supports IPX/SPX, NetBEUI, TCP/IP and AppleTalk
protocols. It is the best network printing solutions for various common network
operating systems such as Windows 95/98SE/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003, NetWare,
Unix/Linux and MAC OS, etc.
With the help of Installation Wizard, you can easily and instantly complete
the settings for the printing environment, and start enjoying the fantastic
features provided by the print server.
In the following chapters, we will introduce in detail the printing features,
installation methods, and system configuration for different network
environments.
If you would like to set up and install print server quickly, please refer to
the Quick Installation Guide that comes along with this print server.

Common operating systems for clients are classified as following:
Windows 95/98SE/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003
Our print server system provides PTPP (Peer-to-Peer Printing) driver and
utilities for Windows 95/98SE/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003 users. PTPP (Peer-to-Peer
Printing) supports TCP/IP protocol.
4 AirLive P-203N User’s Manual

In the client installation procedure, after PTPP (Peer-to-Peer Printing
Driver) is installed into Windows, the system will automatically (manual
configuration is also allowed) search all the print servers on the network, and
then add their printing ports into Windows’ printing port (see below).
