5. Connect the power cord to the printer.
6. Turn the printer on.

12 [en] Quick Installation Guide
In order to verify the installation you can print a status page. To do this, press the
print server's button for a short time.
A status page can only be printed if the printer supports the data formats ASCII,
PostScript, DATAMAX (label printer), or Citizen-Z (label printer).
Additional Feature
You can connect a USB hub to the USB port 2 of the print server and use up to
four printers at the hub.
(Note: The USB hub is not part of the delivery.)

Quick Installation Guide [en] 13
 Embedding the Print Server into the WLAN
The print server (PS55) is embedded into your WLAN network using WPS (Wi-Fi
Protected Setup). In doing so, the push button method is used: By activating the
WPS mode on the WLAN access point respectively router and the print server, the
connection establishment is initiated. The WPS mode is active for 2 minutes on
both devices. The connection can thus only be established if the WPS mode is
activated on both devices within a short time of each other.
Make sure that:
- Your WLAN access point respectively router supports the WPS push button
method.
- You know how to activate the WPS push button method on your WLAN
access point respectively router.
- The print server is within the communication range of the WLAN access point
respectively router.
- The print server is turned on.
Within the 2 minute WPS setup period every client with activated WPS
mode can join your WLAN network. Make sure that no unwanted client
with activated WPS mode is within range.
Proceed as follows:
1. Activate the WPS push button method on your WLAN access point
respectively router.
2. Press the print server's button.
The print server receives and sets the WLAN access credentials and is
embedded into your WLAN network.
If the WPS setup was unsuccessful, reset the print server and try again.
Information on the reset procedure can be found in the print server User Manual.
The download link can be found on page 14.

14 [en] Quick Installation Guide
Finding the Print Server in the Network
Once the print server is connected to the network, it checks whether an IP
address can be obtained from the boot protocols BOOTP or DHCP. If this is not
the case, the print server assigns itself an IP address via ZeroConf from the
address range (169.254.0.0/16) which is reserved for ZeroConf.
The 'InterCon-NetTool' has been developed by SEH Computertechnik GmbH for
the administration of SEH print servers. By means of this tool you can find the
print server's IP address and, if necessary, assign a suitable IP address to the print
server, as described below. It is also used to configure the print server.
’Installing and starting the InterCon-NetTool’ 14
’Finding the Print Server (Determining the IP Address)’ 15
’Changing the IP address’ 15
The client, printer and print server must be assigned to the same local network
segment.
Installing and starting the InterCon-NetTool
Proceed as follows:
1. Download the installation file for the InterCon-NetTool from the homepage
of the SEH Computertechnik GmbH:
http://www.seh-technology.com/services/downloads/
download-printserver-extern/ps55.html
2. Start the InterCon-NetTool installation file.
3. Select the desired language.
4. Follow the installation routine.
The InterCon-NetTool will be installed on your client.
5. Start the InterCon-NetTool on your client.
After the InterCon-NetTool was started, it searches the network for existing
devices and displays them in the 'device list'.

Quick Installation Guide [en] 15
Detailed information on how to use the InterCon-NetTool can be found in the
Online Help. To start the Online Help, select Help – Online Help from the menu
bar.
Finding the Print Server (Determining the IP Address)
All SEH print servers found in the network are displayed in the device list.
If the print server has received an IP address via the boot protocols BOOTP or
DHCP, you can identify it with the help of it's type designation. If you are using
several print servers of the same type, identify the print server using it's hardware
address. You can find the hardware address in the type plate at the bottom of the
print server; see: 2.
If the print server has assigned itself an IP address via ZeroConf from the address
range (169.254.0.0/16) which is reserved for ZeroConf, it will be displayed in the
device list under the 'ZeroConf' filter. Assign a new IP address to the print server;
see: ’Changing the IP address’ 15.
Changing the IP address
Wizards facilitate the installation and configuration of network devices via the
InterCon-NetTool. The 'IP Wizard' is available for the print server. You can easily
enter the desired IP address and save it in the print server using the IP Wizard.
Make sure that:
- The InterCon-NetTool is installed and running; 14.
- You know the print server's current IP address; 15.
Proceed as follows:
1. Mark the print server in the device list.
The print server is displayed in the device list under the filter 'ZeroConf' with an IP
address from the address range (169.254.0.0/16) which is reserved for ZeroConf.
2. Select Installation – IP Wizard.
The IP Wizard is started.
3. Follow the instructions of the IP Wizard.
The settings are saved.
