˙Send data through the parallel (USB) port of each printer you are connecting to the
print server, or generate a printer self-test page.
2. Turn off the power for each printer.
3. Connect the print server to printer(s).
Note: One port print server attaching only one printer, further three ports print server can
expand three printers, for example, the print server’s port1 should be connect printer1,
port2 or port3 as following above step.
4. Plug the AC power adapter into the power receptacle in the side of the print server.
5. Plug the AC power module into the wall out-let, the print server is switched on after you

2. Print Server Installation
Preparation
To meet users’ network printing needs in today’s heterogeneous and multiple protocol
networking environments, the print server supports industrial standard protocols, including
TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, NetBEUI and AppleTalk. This means that the print server supports the
most popular network operating systems today, including NetWare, Windows
95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP, UNIX systems and Macintosh computer(Postscript). As such, there
might be several ways to deploy the print server on your network.
