Overview
The Print Server is designed to support many different platforms, and the configuration required would depend upon the environment
in which it is installed.
The Print Server usually requires configuration, but if there's a DHCP server on your network, then the device is just plug-and-
play. A Windows-based setup Wizard is also provided on the CD-ROM to simplify this task.
PCs wishing to use the printer attached to the Print Server always require configuration.
