Congratulations on purchasing Hawking’s HWPS12UG 1-Port
Parallel + 2 USB Ports Wireless G Print Server. The Hawking
HWPS12UG is a powerful and convenient network printing solution
that will connect your USB and parallel printers to your network. The
HWPS12UG has a 10/100Mbps auto-sensing port, allowing you to
attach it to a 10Base-T or 100Base-TX network without the need for a
dedicated PC print server. The HWPS12UG also supports multiple
servers and multiple protocols, providing you with the capability to
print from anywhere, from any computer and from any application.

LED Indicators
The HWPS12UG is equipped with
LED lights to assist in diagnosing
print server or network errors.
Power
This light will illuminate when the HWPS12UG has sufficient power
and the power adapter is plugged into the HWPS12UG. When the
print server unit is powered on, the Power LED along with either the
LAN LED or the WLAN LED will flash as part of the unit’s Power
On Self Test (POST). This indicates that the print server hardware
is properly configured. The HWPS12UG may take up to 1 minute to
perform its internal diagnostic tests.
LAN
This light will illuminate and flash when the HWPS12UG detects
10M or 100M data transmissions over the network.
Printer Port 1, 2, or 3 (P1, U2, U3)
This set of lights will illuminate and flash when the HWPS12UG
detects a printer attached to any of the 3 printer ports. Please note
port number from the back panel of the HWPS12UG.
Wireless
The wireless light indicates that the HWPS12UG is sending and
receiving wireless information. When the wireless light is flashing,
wireless mode is enabled.
Please note that the Reset button is located on the back of the HWPS12UG. Hold this
button down for more then 5 seconds to reset the print server into factory default mode.
