1. Setup the printer to be connected in a location near a power outlet and network
connection (either a network cable connected to a hub/switch or a network outlet that
is properly terminated and actively connected to the network).
2. Connect the print server to the printer.
(a) For the USB model, use a standard USB or USB 2.0 A/B cable (not
provided) and connect it to the port on the printer (usually a type “B” connector).
Connect the opposite end to the printer server to the connector marked
USB
on
the print server (type “A”).
(b) For the parallel model, connect the print server directly to the data port on
the printer.
3. Connect a network cable to the print server’s
LAN

can be a single piece of cable connected directly to a network hub or switch. If using
premises cabling, this can be a patch cable connected to an active network data jack.
4. Connect the power adapter to a wall outlet or other suitable power source. Connect
the opposite end to the connector on the print server.
