Windows Peer-to-Peer

Peer-to-Peer printing means that each PC prints directly to the
Print Server's printer. This printing method can be used even if
your LAN does have a Server running NetWare, Unix, or
Windows NT Server.

The Print Server supports both the NetBEUI and TCP/IP
protocols; both may be used simultaneously.

For NetBEUI, no Print Server configuration is required.

If TCP/IP is used, the Print Server must be allocated an IP
Address, as follows:

Assigning an IP Address to the Print Server

1. Run the SETUP program in the root directory of the CD-

ROM. Select Utilities, and install Windows Peer-to-peer
Printing
.

2. At the Select Protocol window, select the TCP/IP protocol.

3. At the Select Components screen, install ONLY the

SETBOX utility. Do NOT install the Device Driver until
the Print Server is configured.

4. Run the SETBOX program.

5. Enter the Default Name for the Print Server. The Default

Server Name is shown on a sticker on the base of the
device, and consists of 8 letters and/or digits.

6. Enter and save the following IP Addresses.

IP Address - use any free value from the IP Address

range used on your LAN.

The Gateway Address and Subnet Mask must be the

same as the PCs on your LAN.

Note: When installing on other PCs, do NOT install SETBOX.
