Note See IOPRINT+ documentation on the CD supplied with this product for more detailed information. The IOPRINT+ family of print servers provides seamless connection of serial and parallel interface printers to Ethernet LANs.These print servers provide high performance and low cost printing solutions to take full advantage of network printing resources. A special Internet printing feature enables users to create remote print jobs using a local print driver that automatically delivers the job to the printer via e-mail.
2. Connect the printer or printers 3. For "Direct Attach" models, connect the Print Server directly to the printer's parallel port. 4. For other models, use a standard cable (printer or serial, as required) to connect each Print Server port to the required printer. 5. Connect the LAN cable 6. Connect the network cable to the proper connector on the Print Server. The Print Server will automatically recognize whichever connector is used. Note If your Print Server has both BNC and UTP (10BaseT or 10/100BaseT) connectors, only ONE (1) connection can be used. 7. Connect the supplied Power Adapter. 8. Power ON, and check the Error LED. It should flash, then turn off. If it stays on, there is a hardware error.
4. Run the Setup Wizard, either by using this option on the final installation screen, or by selecting it from the Start menu option created by the installation. 5. Within the Setup Wizard, select the Print Server you wish to configure, click Configure, and step through the Wizard.

Server-based Print Queues
Unix Setup
The Print Server also supports the use of Queue-based printing systems, where print jobs are spooled on an existing NetWare or Windows Server.
Under Unix, the Print Server supports LPD, Direct Socket, and a proprietary printing system called psfilter. For full details of using the Print Server under Unix, refer to the user manual on the CD-ROM.
NetWare/Windows Server Setup If using NetWare in Print Server mode (NDS or Bindery), the Wizard can be used to configure the NetWare Server. You must be logged into the NetWare Server with admin rights. For other NetWare server possibilities, refer to the on-line user manual. If using Windows NT Server or Windows 2000 Server, refer to the on-line user manual for details on setting up the Windows Server.
