Step One: Connect the Wireless USB Print Server

Note

The Wireless USB Print Server must be connected using an Ethernet cable for the initial

configuration. After the initial configuration, you can establish a wireless connection to the network.

1. Turn on your printer.

2. Connect one end of the USB cable to the USB port on your printer, and connect the other end of

the USB cable to the

USB

port on the Print Server.

3. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to your wireless or wired router and the other end to the

LAN

port on the Print Server.

4. Slide the standard power plug for your country on to the power adapter. Apply enough pressure

to cause a click and firmly seat the plug. The power adapter must be unplugged when you attach

the plug.
