3.1 System Architecture
Print server supports Windows Peer-to-Peer network printing mode, which is suitable for most
medium and small network environments. Through quick and simple installation procedure, users
can immediately enjoy the convenience of network printing.
Installation procedure is separated into following two parts:
1. Administrator Installation and Setup (refer to section 2 for more detailed information).
System administrators must:
l Install administrator’s utilities into his/her computer.
l Configure print server from administrator’s configuration utility.
2. Client Installation and Configuration (refer to section 3 for more detailed information).
Client users must install Windows PTPP driver (Peer-to-Peer Printing) for network printing.
In addition, after PTPP is installed, the system will automatically search for all print servers on the
network, and add the printing port of the print servers into Windows’ printing port (refer to Network
Printing Architecture in section 1.4 for more detailed information).
3.2 Administrator Installation and Setup
The Administrator Installation can be performed on Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/Server2003
with the same user interface. Before the installation, please verify that your network protocol is
installed on your PC (TCP/IP, IPX and/or NetBEUI). It will be helpful in your installation process.
