Introduction The D-Link DP-301P+ Print Server is a packet size print server that connects to your Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network anywhere you wish to locate printer services. The DP-301P+ manages the flow of print files from workstations or file servers to connected printers, delivering print jobs to printers much faster than a file server or a PC acting as a print server can. The DP-301P+ includes easy-to-use software to install on most Windows-based networks.
Because the DP-301P+ is very portable and inexpensive compared to a PC-based print server, and Print Server connects to your file servers through the network, printers can be deployed to locations of maximum convenience to users. The DP-301P+ offers extraordinary flexibility, operating with all major network operating systems and protocols: TCP/IP UNIX lpr/lpd (HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, SCO, UnixWare, IBM AIX) Windows NT/2000, Windows 95/98SE/ME, Windows XP/Vista, NetWare 5.
External Features Port Connectors The DP-301P+’s parallel port is located on its front panel. The port is configurable using the Web Configuration Interface or the print server’s Telnet interface. The Print Server’s Web configuration permits users to configure settings through the web browser. Default IP Address of DP-301P+ is set as automatically getting from DHCP server or Router which build-in DHCP server.
Rear Panel Connectors Network Cable Connector The Print Server’s rear panel feature an RJ-45 connector for connection to 10Base-T Ethernet cabling or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet cabling (which should be Category 5 twisted-pair cable). The port supports the NWay protocol, allowing the Print Server to automatically detect or negotiate the transmission speed of the network. DC Power Connector The DC power input connector is located on the Print Server’s rear panel and is labeled DC 5V.
LED Indicators The rear panel of the print server features three LED indicators: Steady green confirms that the Print Server is powered ON. LPT Lights up to indicate printing activity. ACT Steady green confirms that the Print Server has a good connection to the Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network. The indicator blinks off briefly to indicate that the Print Server is receiving or transmitting from the network.
Front Panel Parallel Port Connector The front panel of the print server features the parallel port connector. Plug this connector directly into the parallel port on your network printer. There is no need for a parallel port cable between the print server and your network printer.
Setting up the DP-301P+ Installing the Print Server WARNING: Configuration problems may result if the Print Server is powered up without first establishing its network connection. Follow this procedure to avoid complications at the configuration stage. 1. Confirm proper operation of the printers to be connected to the DP-301P+. 2. When you have confirmed proper operation of the printer, switch its power OFF. 3. Confirm that your network is operating normally. 4.
Power ON Self-Test Every DP-301P+ has been factory-tested to operate properly. When the DP-301P+ is powered ON, it also 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 LPT LED indicator following the Self-Test. Preliminary to the actual component tests, the three LED indicators are tested to confirm their steady and flashing operation.

If your AppleTalk network is divided into AppleTalk zones, you will have to specify which zone the Print Server should be in. You should locate the Print Server in the same zone as most of the users who will be using it. If your network is not divided into zones, the AppleTalk Zone field should contain a single asterisk (*). For each Printer Port that will be used for AppleTalk printing, you may need to change the AppleTalk Port Settings in the Advanced LAN screen, shown as below.
AppleTalk Enter the AppleTalk Zone name in the box. In the following options, enter the related configuration, such as the printer type. Chooser Name: Display the print server's port name. Printer Type: Enter the printer's type in this box. PostScript Level: Select from the pull-down menu (Level 1 or Level 2). Font Group: Select from the pull-down menu. The exact procedure for selecting a PostScript printer connected to print server may vary slightly, depending on what printer driver version you are using.

Select the appropriate printer description file for your printer. Click Open. (If your printer is not listed, click Generic to use a generic printer description.)
