Setting Up Your

Print Server

This chapter describes how to unpack and set up your print server.

You can locate the printer and print server anywhere in your home or office. However, keep in mind that walls and ceilings will weaken the signal between your print server, computer(s), and access point, and that the print server must be within 120 feet of your other equipment.

Make sure you choose a location away from high temperatures, direct sunlight, humidity, and dust. Do not place the print server on a metal surface or near other devices that might cause interference, such as cordless phones operating at 2.4 GHz, microwave ovens, or Bluetoothdevices.

Before you set up the print server, make sure your printer is set up and has ink and paper. Follow the instructions on the Start Here sheet included with the printer to set it up.

Then follow the instructions in these sections:
