Chapter1 Introduction
1.1 Product Introduction
Thank you for purchasing and using our FPS-1100DG. This print server allows your printer to
become a shared device on the network. It offers printing flexibility and manageability on your
Local Area Network at an extremely low cost and with an absolute minimum setup and
maintenance required.
1.2 Product Package
This package contains the following components:
1 x FPS-1100DG
1 x Power Adapter
1 x Driver and User’s Manual CD
1 x Quick Installation Guide
1 x Dipole Antenna
1.3 Network Printing Architecture
This section illustrates how FPS-1100DG functions and operates on the network. Before you
install and use FPS-1100DG, it is strongly suggested that you read this section completely, and
select only the chapters you need according to your network operating system by “Contents of
the User’s Manual” in next section.
This section will first introduce the role every component plays in the network-printing
environment.

Because print server supports IPX, TCP/IP and AppleTalk network protocols, any networked
computer can directly print to the print server from any of its installed protocol.
1.3.2 Network Printing Functions for Clients
Windows NT Server

Windows 2000
Unix Print Server
Client User
Common operating systems for clients are classified as following:
Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP
Our print server system provides PTPP (Peer-to-Peer Printing) driver and utilities for Windows
95/98/NT/2000/XP users. PTPP (Peer-to-Peer Printing) supports TCP/IP protocol.
In the client installation procedure, after PTPP (Peer-to-Peer Printing Driver) is installed into
Windows, the system will automatically (manual configuration is also allowed) search through all
the print servers on the network, and then add their printing ports into Windows’ printing port.

UNIX / Linux
UNIX (include HP/UX, SCO Unix, SunOS, Solaris, Unixware DECUnix, IBM AIX and others) and
Linux use the system-standard LPR to print to print server.
MAC OS
MAC OS can use the system-standard AppleTalk network to print to print server.
1.3.3 Network Printing Functions for Network Server
Windows NT Server
NetWare Server
Windows 98
Windows NT
Workstation
Windows 2000
Unix Print Server
Network Server
Common network servers are classified as following:
Windows NT/2000
Our print server system provides PTPP (Peer-to-Peer Printing) driver and utilities for Windows
NT/2000. After PTPP is installed, the server can directly print to print server. Adding this printing
function into Windows NT/2000 Server allows print queue, user authority management, and many
other advanced features.
NetWare 3.x/4.x/5.x
In NetWare environment, print server offers various printing modes like print queue, remote
printer, etc.
1.4 Network Printing Environment
Common network environment are classified as following:
Windows Peer-to-Peer Network
The client’s PTPP driver will use TCP/IP protocol to print to print server.
Windows NT/2000 Network
Network printing function will become available after PTPP driver is installed into Windows
NT/2000. Adding this printing function into Windows NT/2000 Server allows print queue, user
authority management, and many other advanced features.
NetWare Network (see below)
1.5 Contents of the User’s Manual
Chapter 2 explains print server’s hardware installation and configuration. It is strongly
recommended for you to read.
The following chapters 3, 4, 5, and 6 introduces:
Chapter 3. Windows Peer-to-Peer Network
Chapter 4. Windows NT/2000 Server-Based Network
Chapter 5. NetWare Network
Chapter 6. UNIX System Network
You may select the appropriate chapters and sections to read depending on your network
printing’s requirement.
Chapter 7 and chapter 8 introduce print server’s management and configuration utilities on
Windows and Web Browser’s environment respectively. You may select the appropriate
management utility according to the administrator’s computer platform.
Chapter 9 introduces Print Server’s IPP Printing function and setup procedure. The IPP Printing
provides a convenient way to print documents across the Internet by the IPP protocol.
1.6 Firmware & Printing Function
The print server provides a complete network printing solution. The feature set is listed below:
PTPP (Peer-to-Peer-Printing)
TCP/IP (LPR, SMB, Standard TCP/IP built-in Win2000/XP/Server2003)
IPP Printing
NetWare Bindery Printing
