Print Server FAQ

1. What is a Print Server?

2. How to load my Print Server to its default value?


1. What is a Print Server?

1.      A Print Server is used for connecting a printer to a network. It enables users to share the printing function. The print server supports multiple network protocols and multiple users. Print servers can be an external unit connected to the printer with a cable or an internal unit built into the printer.

 

2. How to load my Print Server to its default value?

1.      There are two different procedures for load default. If the reset button is built-in your print server, please refer to below instruction for the load default procedure,

  1. 1. Power off the print server.
  1. 2. Press and hold the reset button and then power on the print server.
  1. 3. Release the reset button until the Status LED blinks rapidly.
  1. 4. Wait for the Status LED flashes normally; the default setting will be restored.
  1. Or, you can use the web management of print server to bring the print server back to its default value.

 

3. Why can't I save my configuration?

  1. There should be over one piece of NICs used in your computer. Please leave only one NIC when you configure the print server. And then you will save its configuration.

 

4. What benefits does the Print Server have?

1. Cost Effective
