Setup
This chapter describes how to install your NETGEAR PS121 Mini Print Server and set up basic
connectivity on your Local Area Network (LAN).
Verify Printer and Network Readiness
Assure that the following are available:
• You have a working Ethernet network running TCP/IP with at least one Windows 98SE, Me,
2000, or XP PC.
• You have a printer with a USB port.
Note: As illustrated in “Not Compatible with Centronics Parallel Printer Ports” on page 2-5,
the Model PS121 Mini Print Server does not support printers using parallel connectors. If your
printer uses a parallel connector, you should use one of the other NETGEAR Print Servers
such as the Model PS101 Mini Print Server.
• You may also need to have your printer driver software handy. For most popular printers,
Windows already has the printer driver software available.
Tip: Set up the printer you will use directly on a computer and verify that it is working properly
before connecting it to the PS121.
Observe these Precautions
For your own safety, and to protect your Print Server, please observe the following precautions.
• Use only the correct 9v power supply. Do not pinch, crimp or otherwise damage the power
cord. If exposed to foot traffic, ensure that the cable is properly shielded and does not pose a
tripping hazard.
• Unplug this device from its power source before cleaning. Use only a slightly dampened cloth
for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Avoid using this product near water. Exposure to water poses an electric-shock hazard.
