  • Page 5: Introduction

    Introduction The D-Link DP-301U 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-301U 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.
  • Page 6  Because the DP-301U 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-301U offers extraordinary flexibility, operating with all major network operating systems and protocols: ...

  • Page 7: External Features

    External Features Port Connector The DP-301U’s USB port is located on its rear 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.

  • Page 8: Rear Panel Connectors

    Rear Panel Connectors Network Cable Connector The Print Server’s rear panel features 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.

  • Page 9: Front Panel

    Front Panel LED Indicators The front panel of the print server features three LED indicators:  Power Steady green confirms that the Print Server is powered ON.  Lights up to indicate printing activity.  Steady green confirms that the Print Server has a good connection to the Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network.

    Power ON Self-Test Every DP-301U has been factory-tested to operate properly. When the DP-301U 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.

    Setting up AppleTalk Printing in Mac OS 9 NOTE: Mac OS printing is supported by Postscript printers only! The AppleTalk network protocol is used with computers using the MacOS operating system. It can be used for network communications over standard Ethernet or Fast Ethernet using the EtherTalk transport, or over a proprietary low-speed LocalTalk transport.
  • Page 139  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 (*).
  • Page 140 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.
  • Page 141 The exact procedure for selecting a PostScript printer connected to print server may vary slightly, depending on what printer driver version you are using. The procedure described below assumes you are using the LaserWriter 8. To choose a printer connected to print server as your MacOS workstation‘s default printer, open the Chooser by selecting Chooser from the Apple menu.
  • Page 142 If you have not previously set this printer as the default, your computer will prompt you for a PostScript Printer Description file. Choose Select PPD. 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.) If you wish to access this setting in the future, you can use the Setup button in the Chooser window.
