Appendix C. Hardware Installation

Tip:

You can configure the unit without having it attached to a printer. While you will not be able to print the Main Status Pages showing all configurations, you will, of course, be able to look up the individual settings using one of the configuration tools described in this manual.

1Power Off the printer.

If the printer is not powered Off before the installation, parts of the print server or the printer may be permanently damaged.

2Remove any interface or cable occupying the parallel port connector you wish to install the unit on.

Be sure to check that this is OK with the network administrator.

3Snap the print server on to the parallel port connector. Secure its position by flipping both connector clips down into the notches on the unit.

4Insert a LAN drop cable from your LAN in to the print server.

5Connect the print server’s power supply to a power source and power the printer On.

6It is usually a good idea to document current settings and save the pages for reference. If you wish to do this, wait until the printer reports Ready (the print server should have only one LED lit: the green one). Then press the TEST Button for 1 or 2 seconds. This will print the Main Status Pages for the unit. The label on the back of the print server has these instructions, but shortens the name to Status Pages.
