This manual describes the 3 Parallel Port Multi-protocol Wireless
Print Server, including a description of the print server’s features, as
well as the print server installation procedures and troubleshooting
self-test results.
For information about software configuration of the Print Server to
allow it to be used with your network, consult the PS Admin User’s
Guide included with your Print Server.

1 INTRODUCTION
The Print Server is a compact wireless print server which
connects to your network through an access point under the
infrastructure mode or can be used in ad-hoc mode for direct
communication between PC/Notebook and print server
anywhere you wish to locate wireless printer services. It
manages the flow of print files from your workstations or file
servers to its connected printers, delivering print jobs to high-
performance printers much faster than a file server or a PC
acting as a print server can.
Print Server Features
The Print Server improve network printing services in three ways:
♦ The Print Server picks up the workload of managing print file
traffic to its connected printers. This provides workload relief to
your file servers, and allows the file servers' full capacity to be
used for file access or other direct services to network users. On
peer-to-peer networks, workstations can print directly to the Print
Server without increasing the load of another workstation or server.
♦ The Print Server's parallel printer ports are IEEE 1284 compliant
high-speed bi-directional ports, which can transmit to high-speed
laser printers much faster than a PC's parallel printer port. High-
speed laser printers connected to the Print Server's parallel ports
can be operated at their full capacity.

♦ Because the Print Server is very portable and inexpensive
compared to a PC-based print server, and because the Print Server
connects to your file servers through the network, printers can be
deployed to locations of maximum convenience to users.
The Print Server offers extraordinary flexibility, operating with all
major network operating systems and protocols:
♦ IPX/SPX
Novell NetWare 3.x, 4.x, 5.x (Using either bindery emulation or
native NDS)
♦ TCP/IP
UNIX LPR/LPD (HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, SCO, UnixWare, IBM
AIX)
Windows NT, Windows 95/98/Me/2000
♦ NetBEUI
Windows NT, Windows 95/98/Me/2000, Windows for
Workgroups, Microsoft LAN Manager, IBM LAN Server
♦ AppleTalk
MacOS EtherTalk
Windows-based setup and administration software, PS Admin, is
supplied with the Print Server, making configuration and management
quick and easy. The Print Server also supports configuration and
management via the telnet protocol for networks without Windows-
compatible machines.

External Features
This section describes the externally visible features of the Print
Server.
Port Connectors
The Print Server’s three printer ports are located on its rear panel.
Three identical parallel ports are labeled LPT1, LPT2 and LPT3.
These printer ports are independently configurable using the PS
Admin program or the print server’s telnet interface. (See the PS
Admin User’s Guide for information about configuring the print
server’s ports.)
Rear Panel
Wireless DIP Switch
The Print Server’s rear panel features a DIP switch allowing two
different modes of ad-hoc and infrastructure. In ad-hoc mode there is
direct communication between PC/Notebook and print server. Under
infrastructure mode communication between PC/Notebook and print
server is through the Access Point acting as a bridge between wired
and wireless network.
Reset Button
Reset will be initiated when the reset button is pressed once and the
LPT1, LPT2 & LPT3 begins to flash.

Factory Reset will be initiated when the reset button is pressed for
three seconds or when the LPT1, LPT2 & LPT3 begins to light up.
Release the reset button and LPT1, LPT2, & LPT3 will begin to flash
indicating the print server is changing to factory reset. When factory
reset is completed the print server’s wireless setting will be set to
default on channel 6.
DC Power Connector
The DC power input connector is located on the Print Server’s rear
panel and is labeled DC 5V.
LED Indicators
The front panel of the Print Server features five LED indicators:
Front Panel LED Indicators
♦ Power
◊ Steady green light confirms that the Print Server is powered
on.
♦ Link/Act
◊ In infrastructure mode steady or flashing green light confirms
the Print Server has a good connection to the Access Point.
◊ In ad-hoc mode steady or flashing green light confirms
connection to other PC/Notebook.
◊ The indicator blinks off briefly to indicate that the Print Server
is receiving/transmitting from/to the wireless network.
6
♦ Wireless Quality (3)
◊ These LED indicator lights show that the Print Server has
wireless quality connections to the network in either ad-hoc or
infrastructure mode.
◊ If only the first Wireless LED indicator lights up, it indicates
poor wireless quality connection.
◊ When the first & second LED indicator lights up
simultaneously, it indicates a moderate wireless quality
connection.
◊ If all three LED indicators light up simultaneously, it shows a
high quality wireless connection.
♦ LPT1, LPT2, LPT3
◊ These LED indicators light to show that the Print Server is
transferring print data through the appropriate parallel port.
These three indicators are also used by the print server’s power-
on self test (POST) to indicate any hardware failures.
