For information about software configuration of the DP-100 to allow it to be used with your network, consult the Print Server Administration User’s Guide included with your DP-100.
DP-100 Multiprotocol Ethernet Print Server User’s Guide NTRODUCTION The DP-100 Print Server is a compact print server which connects to your Ethernet network anywhere you wish to locate printer services. It manages the flow of print files from your workstations or file servers to its connected printers, delivering print jobs to high-performance printers much faster than a file server or a PC acting as a print server can.
Page 14
The DP-100 picks up the workload of managing print file traffic to its connected printers. This provides workload relief to your file servers, and allows the file servers' full capacity to be used for file access or other direct services to network users. On peer-to-peer networks, workstations can print directly to the DP-100 without increasing the load of another workstation or server.
This section describes the externally visible features of the DP-100 print server. Port Connectors The DP-100’s three printer ports are located on its rear panel. Two identical parallel ports are labeled LPT1 and LPT2; the single serial port is labeled COM. These printer ports are independently configurable using the PS Admin program or the print server’s...
10Base2 cabling (using a BNC connector). Both of these network cable connectors are located on the DP-100’s right side panel. DC Power Connector The DC power input connector is located on the DP-100’s right side panel and is labeled DC 12V. Figure 1 -3 Print Server Right Side Panel...

DP-100 Multiprotocol Ethernet Print Server User’s Guide The indicator blinks off briefly to indicate that the DP-100 is transmitting to the network. Link/Rx Steady or flashing green confirms that the DP-100 has a good connection to the Ethernet network. The indicator blinks off briefly to indicate that the DP-100 is receiving from the network.
This chapter explains how to install your DP-100 print server and connect it to the network. It also describes the print server self test indications, and tells how to wall-mount your print server. Unpacking and Inspecting the Print Server Carefully remove all items from the package. In addition to this Hardware User’s Guide, be certain that you have:...
5. While each printer is powered off, connect its tested and confirmed port with a like printer port of the DP-100. If you are connecting fewer than three printers, then keep in mind that parallel- port connections are preferred for high-performance printers.
DP-100’s self-test will proceed. Power On Self-Test When the DP-100 is powered on, it automatically performs a self-test on each of its major components. The final result of the self-test is signaled by the state of the LPT1, LPT2, and COM LED indicators following the self- test.

443 PP When setting the screws into the wall or partition, leave about 3 mm ( between the head of each screw and the wall surface. Then place the DP- 100 so that the mounting sockets on the bottom of its case fit over the two screws.
This appendix shows the pinouts of the DP-100 parallel and serial printer ports. Parallel Ports The following table lists the pinouts of the print server’s 25-pin parallel port connector (identical to the connector used on most personal computers), as well as the 36-pin Centronics connector used on most printers.
DP-100 Multiprotocol Ethernet Print Server User’s Guide 25-pin Centronics 18-25 16, 17, 19-30 Serial Port The table below shows the pinout of the print server’s 9-pin RS-232 serial port. The print server’s serial port is a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) port, and should be connected to a DCE (Data Communications Equipment) serial port on your printer.
