Setting up the DP-300U

Installing the Print Server

WARNING:

 

Configuration problems may result if the Print Server is powered up without

first establishing its network connection. Follow this procedure to avoid complications at

the configuration stage.

!

!

 These LED indicators light to show that the Print Server is transferring

 print data through the appropriate parallel port or USB port.

Confirm proper operation of each of the printers to be connected to the
DP-300U.

1.

When you have confirmed proper operation of each printer, switch its power

OFF

.

2.

Confirm that your network is operating normally.

3.

Connect the DP-300U RJ-45 Connector to the network, using an Ethernet

CAT5 cable.

4.

While each printer is powered 

OFF

, install the corresponding parallel or USB

printer cable to connect the printer’s parallel port or USB port to the printer port of

the Print Server.

5.

Switch on each connected printer.

6.

Plug the AC power adapter’s DC output plug into the DC 5V power socket on

the rear panel of the Print Server.

7.

Plug the power adapter into a power outlet. This will supply power to the Print

Server, as it has no external power switch. The green Power LED on the Print

Server’s front panel should illuminate steadily, and the Print Server’s Self-Test

will proceed.
