Contents of Package: D-Link DPR-1040 USB 2.0 MFP Server Manual and Warranty on CD Printed Quick Installation Guide If any of the above items are missing, please contact your reseller. v System Requirements: A computer with an installed Ethernet adapter Windows Vista/XP/2000/NT4/ME/98SE/95 Apple Mac OS 9.x to MAC OS X 10.4.
Internet Explorer 6.0 or above; Netscape Navigator version 6.0 or above, with JavaScript enabled Printer must support required operating system Introduction The D-Link DPR-1040 Print Server is an Ethernet/USB print server that connects to your Ethernet, Fast Ethernet or USB network anywhere you wish to locate printer services.
printers can be deployed to locations of maximum convenience to users. Use USB redirection software (PS-Link) to support MFP printer’s print/scan/fax/copy functions and GDI printer’s printing. Use the easy-to-add printer software (PS-Wizard) to add a network printer on Windows for traditional printer’s TCP/IP printing.
External Features Port Connectors The DPR-1040’s USB printer port is located on its rear panel, and is configurable using the Web Configuration Interface. The Print Server’s Web configuration permits users to configure settings through the web browser. Default IP Address of DPR-1040 is set as automatically getting from DHCP server or Router which build-in DHCP server. NOTE: The PC’s IP Address must be in the same subnet as the Print Server’s IP Address for the two devices to communicate.
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 upper part of the Print Server features three LED indicators: Power Steady green confirms that the Print Server is powered ON. USB When these LEDs light in steady green, it indicates the printer is on line now. While if these LEDs light in blinking green, it indicates that data is transferred between print server and printer. These three indicators are also used by the Print Server’s Power-ON Self Test (POST) to indicate any hardware failures.
Setting up the DPR-1040 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 each of the printers to be connected to the DPR-1040. 2. When you have confirmed proper operation of each printer, switch its power OFF. 3. Confirm that your network is operating normally. 4.
Power ON Self-Test Every DPR-1040 has been factory-tested to operate properly. When the DPR-1040 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 USB 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.
Getting Started Below is a sample network using the DPR-1040. The DPR-1040 has a built- in Web-based management feature that allows users to easily configure and manage multiple print queues through TCP/IP. WARNING: Only a USB printer may be connected to the USB port of the DPR-1040. Do not connect any other USB devices to the USB port of the DPR-1040; to do so, may damage the unit and will void the warranty for this product.
