INSTALLING A NETWORK PRINTER
Setting up the hardware
The first stage of installing a network printer is
setting up the hardware. There are two steps to
this: setting up the printer hardware and
connecting the print server.
Set up the printer hardware --
Remove any
shipping materials. Install the paper trays and
ink or toner cartridges (as appropriate). Add
paper. Plug in the power cord and switch on the
power. Print a test page. Do not connect the
printer to your computer. (For detailed
instructions, check your printer manual or setup
poster.)
Connect the print server --
There are a
couple of different cases to consider:
●
If you use an external print
server:
Switch off the printer's power.
Connect the printer cable (USB or
parallel, as appropriate) between the
printer and the print server. Connect the
network cable to the print server. Switch
on the printer's power. Plug in the print
server's power cord. Push the Test
button on the print server to print a
configuration page on the printer; this
tests the connection between the print
server and the printer. (For detailed
instructions, check your print server
manual or setup poster.)
●
If you use an internal print
server:
Note that many printers come
with the print server module already
installed in the printer. If your print
server module is not already installed:
Unplug the printer's power cord. Plug
the print server into its slot in the
printer. Connect the network cable to
the network connector on the print
server. Plug in the printer's power cord.
(For detailed instructions, check your
print server manual or setup poster.)
