TE-350 Print Server 

 

If the TE-350 is powered on, make sure to take the 
printer Off-Line before connecting it to the TE-350.  
Failure to do so may cause the printer to print garbage. 
After the printer has been connected to the TE-350, put 
the printer back On-Line. 

Connect the Network Cable 

The TE-350 network interface auto-sensing feature detects which 
network interfaces are used and automatically adjusts to that network 
environment. To connect the network cable to the TE-350, do the fol-
lowing: 

1.  Determine which type of cable your network uses. 
2.  Connect the network cable to the proper connector on the 

TE-350 panel. 

Ethernet Network 

The following Ethernet network cables may be attached to the TE-
350: 

• 

Thin Ethernet (10Base-2, BNC connector) 

• 

Twisted Pair Ethernet (10Base-T, RJ45 connector) 

Connecting Power Adapter Cable 

Plug in the power adapter cable. Check the Power and Status LED in-
dicators on the front panel. When the Red Status indicator LED goes 
out and the Green Power indicator LED remains lit or flashes, TE-350 
is ready to service print jobs. 

 

Only use the power adapter provided with the TE-
350. Using a different one may cause hardware dam-
age.
