3.3Administrator Utilities

After Administrator Installation is completed, there will be six utilities in print server’s Program folder.

1. Network Ports Quick Setup

Network Ports Quick Setup Utility offers a very simple method to add or remove print server’s printer port from the client’s computer.

If you have just installed another new print server on the network, you must run this program first. This program will search for new print servers and allow you to add the new network printer port into client’s computer conveniently. Perform the standard Add Printer procedure, and you can print directly to the printer through the newly installed print server.

Please be aware that Network Ports Quick Setup Utility can only detect and configure all print servers on the same network, it cannot search and configure print servers on other subnets across network segments. You must use Remote Ports Utility described in the next section to manage remote (across network segments) print servers.

2. Remote Ports

Remote Ports Utility offers a convenient way for you to manage and add printer port of the remote print server. From the assistant of this utility, you can print to other print servers outside the subnet across network segment. However, please note that this function only supports TCP/IP network protocol.

Please follow the procedures described below:

Step1. Run Remote Ports Utility

Step2. Press Add, then enter the print server’s name, IP address, select used ports, and enter LPR queue name of each port.
