Intermate100 and Intermate101 Print Server Administration Manual 233
Hardware Installation:
Appendix C. Hardware Installation
Tip:
You can configure the unit without having it attached to
a printer. While you will not be able to print the Main
Status Pages showing all configurations, you will, of
course, be able to look up the individual settings using
one of the configuration tools described in this manual.
1 Power Off the printer.
If the printer is not powered Off before the installation,
parts of the print server or the printer may be
permanently damaged.
2 Remove any interface or cable occupying the parallel port
connector you wish to install the
unit on.
Be sure to check that this is OK with the network
administrator.
3 Snap the print server on to the parallel port connector.
Secure its position by flipping both connector clips down
into the notches on the unit.
4 Insert a LAN drop cable from your LAN in to the print server.
5 Connect the print server’s power supply to a power source
and power the printer On.
6 It is usually a good idea to document current settings and
save the pages for reference. If you wish to do this, wait
until the printer reports Ready (the print server should have
only one LED lit: the green one). Then press the TEST
Button for 1 or 2 seconds. This will print the Main Status
Pages for the unit. The label on the back of the print server
has these instructions, but shortens the name to Status
Pages.
