External print server setup
If you use an internal print server
, the print server is a module that plugs into a slot in the
printer. Many printers come with the print server module installed. If your printer server module
is not already installed, plug it into its slot in the printer. Then connect the network cable directly
to the print server. Finally, print a configuration page to test the print server connection. (For
detailed instructions, check your print server manual or setup poster.) The connections should
look like this:

-- In many network installations, the network components
(hubs, switches, &c.) are stored in a wiring closet and the network wiring is hidden in the walls.
The only sign of the network that you see in such an installation is a wall outlet that has one or two
network connectors. In this case, just use network cables to plug the computer and the print server
into the wall outlets. (If you have any questions about such an installation, check with your
network administrator.) The connections will look generally like the following illustration.
