Connecting any other USB device to the Printer Server may damage the Printer Server. Note: Before connecting the Printer Server, you must install the printer driver on each computer you plan to use with the printer. Make sure that you are able to print, scan, and fax from each with your multi-functional printer directly connected to your computer(s). Step 1 Power down the printer and the printer server. Step 2 Connect one end of a networking cable to your router, then connect the other end to the Ethernet port on the back of the print server. Step 3 Connect the USB cable coming from your printer into the USB port on the printer server. Step 4 Turn on the printer. Once the printer is powered on, connect the print server’s power adapter to an electrical outlet. Section 2 Installing the PS Software Note: The PS Software must be installed on all computers you plan to use with the print server. Step 1 Insert the Utility CD into your CD-ROM drive. When the autorun screen appears, select Install PS Software from the menu.

Step 2 Select your setup language and click OK. Step 3 Click Next at the welcome screen. Step 4 Click Next at the Choose Destination Location screen. Step 5 Click Next at the Select Program Folder.

You should see your printer next to Device name. Click on the Setup Wizard button to configure the printer server. Step 3 A password box will appear. The default password is admin. Enter it and click OK. Step 4 Click Next at the welcome screen. Step 5 At the System screen you can change the Server Name, Port Name, and Password. Click Next after making the desired changes. If you do not have a specific Server Name, Port Name, or Password that you would like to use, click Next to accept the default settings. Step 6 If you have a specific IP address you would like to assign to the print server, select Manually Assign and enter your custom settings. Otherwise, select DHCP Assign Automatically and click Next. Step 7 If your network uses a workgroup name other than WORKGROUP, you can enter it here, or accept the default settings, and click Next. Step 8 If you have specific AppleTalk settings, you can enter them here or accept the default settings, and click Next. Step 9 Click Save to save the changes to your print server.
