JetLAN Print Server
Quick Installation Instructions for Windows
98/Me/NT/2000/XP
These instructions were designed to help you get your print server up and running as quickly as possible.
Advanced users or users of other operating systems may need to refer to the accompanying manual.
Pre-Installation
Before installing the print server, you need to make sure the following conditions are met:
- Make sure you printer is working and that the printer drivers are installed properly. The best way to
accomplish this is by connecting the printer to the computer directly and print several test pages
before beginning installation of the print server. Also, make sure you printer is compatible with a
network print server (see Printer Compatibility, at the end of this document).
- Make sure your network is setup and communicating properly. It is assumed that you have a properly
installed network that can communicate via standard protocols such as TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, or
NetBEUI. If you are unsure, contact your network administrator before proceeding. Do not proceed
without first checking the functionality of your network. We cannot assist with the JetLAN until
that step is complete.
- If you are running a Firewall on your network (such as ZoneAlarm, Norton, or the Firewall built-in to
Windows XP or your router) make sure it is disabled before proceeding, or it is configured to allow
local Ethernet traffic. If you are not sure how to configure your firewall, contact the manufacturer
of the firewall.
Hardware Installation
1) Turn off power to the printer.
2) Connect the network cable to the RJ-45 jack on the print server.
3) Plug the printer into a port on the print server.
4) Connect the AC adapter to the power receptacle on the back of the print server.
5) Connect the AC adapter to the wall power outlet.
6) The print server’s STATUS LED (Yellow) should blink five times as the unit performs its self -
diagnostics. If it does not, you should contact your vendor.
7) The FLOW/LINK LED (Green) should be lit, or blink periodically to indicate you have a good
connection to your network. If not, check the network cabling or your network configuration.
8) Power up the printer. Print server hardware installation is complete.
Software Installation
The software installation needs to be performed on each machine that wishes to print directly to the printer
connected to the print server.
1) Insert the diskette Setup Disk for NetWare Windows 95/98/NT/2000 Disk 1. Double-click “My
Computer”, then double-click the floppy drive icon. You should see a file called “Setup.exe”. Double-
click that file to begin the software setup program. (Alternate method: Insert the diskette. Click “Start”
then “Run”. In the box, type A:/Setup.exe)
2) The Network Print Monitor Setup will appear. Click Next. (Note: The Window will also display the
version appropriate for your operating system. Windows Me uses will see Windows 95/98. This is
normal.)
3) The next screen will ask where to install the files. It is recommended to use the default.
