NETGEAR USB Multifunction Printer Server PS121v2 User Manual

Setup 2-3

v1.1, September 2006

Install and Configure the PS121v2 Software

The installation process depends on the type of functionality you want from the PS121v2 USB

Multifunction Print Server and your network configuration.

Choose How Your Print Server Will Function

Your print server can be set up to interface with the printer as a multi-function printer or as a

standard print-only printer. The choice you make here will affect the way that the print server

functions:

• If you choose the multi-function printer capability, then before you can send a job to the

printer that requires manual intervention, such as scanning, copying, or faxing, you must

reserve the printer for exclusive use by your computer and then, after you have finished with

the printer, release the printer so that it becomes available to other computers in your network.

For printing operations, the PS121v2 USB Multifunction Print Server will work as a standard

network print server: print jobs can be sent concurrently from different computers on your

network. This option is only available if all the computers in your network are running

Windows XP or Windows 2000.

• If you choose the print-only printer capability, the printer will act like a standard network print

server: print jobs can be sent concurrently from different computers on your network. This

option is available for computer networks that include Macintosh computers and computers

running Windows 98 SE and Windows ME, in addition to computers running Windows XP

and Windows 2000 using LPR or raw printing.

Setting Up the Print Server to Interface with a Multi-Function

Printer

Use the installation instructions on the Resource CD to install and set up your print server.

Note: The multi-function feature is only available if all the computers in your network

run Windows XP or Windows 2000. However, the Resource CD can be used to

install the PS121v2 as a standard print-only print server on Windows 98SE and

Windows ME.
