Hardware Setup
1. Plug the print server directly into the parallel port (36-pin female
connector) on your printer. No additional data cable is required.
2. Plug the power adapter into a suitable power outlet, and then connect
the power cable to the print server.
Verifying Successful Installation
1. Plug the print server power supply adapter into the wall.
2. Connect the power supply cable into the print server.
3. Switch your printer power ON. The print server will run through a
set of power-up diagnostics for a few seconds. If the print server is
operating properly, the green LED will blink momentarily and then
go out (refer to the next page for LED status descriptions). If the
green LED blinks continuously in a regular pattern, there is a
problem. If this is the case, first verify that you have a good Ethernet
connection, and then try powering the unit OFF and then ON again.
If the problem persists, refer to the Troubleshooting section on page
12 in this User’s Guide. When the green LED goes out, the other
LEDs on the print server will blink in a random pattern.
NOTE: Before attempting to install the print server, first make sure
that you have installed your printer or plotter as described in the
documentation for the device.
NOTE: In the event that the print server cannot be connected directly
to the printer's Centronics port, a 36-to-36-pin Centronics (male-to-
female) cable can be ordered from TROY (p/n CABLE-CEN2). For
printers that use the miniature Centronics IEEE 1284C-compliant
connector, TROY offers the CABLE C/B adapter cable.
