Installing the DP-300
WARNING:
Configuration problems may result if the DP-300 is powered up without first
establishing its network connection. Follow this procedure to avoid
complications at the configuration stage.
1.
Confirm proper operation of each of the printers to be connected to the DP-300. If you test
your printers by printing test files directly from a PC, then make each printer’s test
connection to the PC through the same port (serial or parallel) as the one you plan to use in
connecting to the DP-300.
2.
When you have confirmed proper operation of each printer, switch its power off.
3.
Confirm that your network is operating normally.
4.
Connect the DP-300 to the network, using the RJ-45 (10Base-T/100Base-TX) connector on
the print server’s side panel.
5.
While each printer is powered off, connect its tested and confirmed port to a like printer
port of the DP-300. If you are connecting fewer than three printers, then keep in mind that
parallel- port connections are preferred for high-performance printers.
6.
Switch on each connected printer.
