This chapter explains how to install your DP-101 print server and connect it to the network. It

also describes the automatic power-on self test.

Unpacking and Inspecting

Carefully remove all items from the package. Please check to be certain that you have:

♦  One print server

♦  One AC power adapter suitable for AC power in your area

♦  One Installation CD-ROM

♦  One Multi-language Installation Guide

If any item is missing, or if you find any damage or mismatch, promptly contact your dealer for

assistance.

Installing the DP-101

Follow these steps for a trouble-free start of print-server operations with your DP-101. Please

take particular notice of the warning in step 4: the network connection should be made before

supplying power to the DP-101.

1.  Confirm proper operation of the printer to be connected to the DP-101.

2.  When you have confirmed proper operation of the printer, switch its power off.

3.  Confirm that your network is operating normally.

4.  Connect the DP-101 to the network (through the RJ-45 receptacle on the print server’s rear

end).

WARNING:

Configuration problems may result if the DP-101 is powered up without first

establishing its network connection.  Follow this procedure to avoid complications at

the configuration stage.

5.  While the printer is power off, connect the DP-101 print server directly to the printer parallel

port.

6.  Switch printer power on.

7.  Plug the AC Power adapter’s output plug into the DC power input socket on the rear end of the

DP-101.

8.  Plug the AC Power adapter into an electric service outlet.  This will supply power to the DP-

101.  (The DP-101 has no power switch.)  The DP-101’s self-test routines will proceed

automatically.
