Chapter2 Hardware Installation
1. Make sure the Print Server and printer are power OFF.
2. Connect printer to the suitable printer port on Print Server.
3. Connect the LAN cable to the RJ-45 port of the Print Server.
4. Connect the other end of the LAN cable to a switch or your PC directly.
5. Power on Print Server and printer.
6. Please make sure the Print Server LAN LED is light on.
NOTE1: MUST use the power adapter shipped with the print server, do NOT use any other
power adapter from any sources.
NOTE2: To prevent the compatibility problem between print server and a few printer, it is
recommended that you power on the print server before the printer.
NOTE3: Please be sure your printer is not a host-base printer. This kind of printer must be
connected to a PC directly, so they cannot work with Print Server. You may check
the printer specification or the GDI Printer List in our bundle CD to know this
printer can work with FPS-3121 or not.
Chapter3 Windows Peer-to-Peer
Network
3.1 System Architecture
Print server supports Windows Peer-to-Peer network printing mode, which is suitable for most
medium and small network environments. Through quick and simple installation procedure, users
can immediately enjoy the convenience of network printing.
Installation procedure is separated into following two parts:
1. Administrator Installation and Setup (refer to section 2 for more detailed information).
System administrators must:
zInstall administrator’s utilities into his/her computer.
zConfigure print server from administrator’s configuration utility.
2. Client Installation and Configuration (refer to section 3 for more detailed information).
Client users must install Windows PTPP driver (Peer-to-Peer Printing) for network printing.
In addition, after PTPP is installed, the system will automatically search for all print servers on the
network, and add the printing port of the print servers into Windows’ printing port (refer to Network
Printing Architecture in section 1.4 for more detailed information).
3.2 Administrator Installation and Setup
The Administrator Installation can be performed on Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/Server2003
with the same user interface. Before the installation, please verify that your network protocol is
installed on your PC (TCP/IP, IPX and/or NetBEUI). It will be helpful in your installation process.
1. Insert Drivers and User’s Manual CD into the CD-ROM drive to initiate the autorun program.
Once completed a menu screen will appear.
2. Click on “Administrator Installation” hyper link to initiate the installation. Or you can click the
“Start” button and choose “Run”. (Suppose “E” is your CD-ROM drive). When the dialog box
appears, enter “E:\Utility\Setup.exe” and press enter key. You will see the dialog box as
below. Please click “Next” to continue.
3. Specify the destination folder where the utility will be installed. Click “Next”.
4. Select the components you want to install. It is highly recommended to install all provided
components in administrator installation. Please click “Next”.
