Introduction

The D-Link DPR-1061 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. The DPR-1061 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. With one IEEE1284 parallel port and two

USB 2.0 ports, DPR-1061 can connect to almost any make and model printer on the

market today.

The DPR-1061 includes easy-to-use software to install on most Windows-based

networks. Protocol support for TCP/IP, NetBEUI, and AppleTalk are provided to

ensure seamless connection to major networking Operating Systems.

The DPR-1061 has a built in Web-Based management feature that allows users to

easily configure and manage multiple print queues through TCP/IP.

The DPR-1061 improves network printing services in the following ways:

The DPR-1061 picks up the workload of managing print file traffic to its connected

printers. This provides workload relief to your file servers, and allows the file servers

full capacity to be used for file access or other direct services to network users. On

peer-to-peer networks, workstations can print directly to the Print Server without

increasing the load of another workstation or server.

The DPR-1061’s parallel printer port is IEEE1284-compliant high-speed

bi-directional port, which can transmit to high-speed laser printer much faster than a

PC’s parallel printer port. High-speed laser printer connected to the Print Server’s

parallel port can be operated at their full capacity.

Because the DPR-1061’s 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.

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.

The DPR-1061 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.x NDPS LPR Remote

Printing

NetBEUI

Windows NT/2000/XP, Windows 95/98SE/ME, Windows for Workgroups, Microsoft

LAN Manager, IBM LAN Server

AppleTalk

MacOS EtherTalk

Furthermore, the MFP server features various useful software utilities: PS Software-

a user-friendly program used to complete further settings for the MFP Server,

contains PS-Link and PS-Wizard:

¾ PS-Link Ё A useful tool for you supporting multi-functions (Print/ Scan/ Copy/

Fax) of a MFP printer, printing of GDI printer, and even other multimedia software

of any MFP/GDI printer. For the detail information, see the “Using The PS

Software” chapter in this manual.

¾ PS-Wizard Ё A simple tool for you easily adding a printer on your computer.

See also the “Using The PS Software” chapter in this manual for the details.

External Features

Port Connectors

The DPR-1061’s three printer ports are located on its rear panel. Two USB and one

parallel ports are labeled USB1, USB2, and LPT. These printer ports are

independently 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-1061 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. (For example, if MFP server’s IP

Address is 192.168.0.10, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, then your

computer’s IP Address should be 192.168.0.x, where x is a value between 1-254,

excluding 10.)

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.

Reset Button

Press and release this button to reset the MFP Server; or press and hold this button

for three seconds until the USB1, USB2, and LPT LEDs on the front panel light up

and then release the button, the MFP Server will resume the factory default settings.

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 front panel of the Print Server features five LED indicators:

Power

Steady green confirms that the Print Server is powered ON.

Link/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.

USB1, USB2, LPT

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-1061

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-1061.

2. When you have confirmed proper operation of each printer, switch its power OFF.

3. Confirm that your network is operating normally.

4. Connect the DPR-1061 RJ-45 Connector to the network, using an Ethernet CAT5

cable.

5. While each printer is powered OFF, install the corresponding parallel or USB

printer cable to connect the printer’s parallel port or USB port to the printer port of the

Print Server.

6. Switch on each connected printer.

7. Plug the AC power adapter’s DC output plug into the DC 5V power socket on the

rear panel of the Print Server.

8. Plug the power adapter into a power outlet. This will supply power to the Print

Server, as it has no external power switch. The green Power LED on the Print

Server’s front panel should illuminate steadily, and the Print Server’s Self-Test will

proceed.

Power ON Self-Test

Every DPR-1061 has been factory-tested to operate properly.

When the DPR-1061 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 USB1, USB2 and LPT LED indicators following the Self-Test. Preliminary to

the actual component tests, the three LED indicators are tested to confirm their

steady and flashing operation.

Immediately after power-up, all five of the green LEDs should illuminate steadily for

several seconds. Then the USB1, USB2 and LPT LEDs should light OFF

simultaneously. Irregularity of any of the three LEDs during these LED tests may

mean there is a problem with the LEDs themselves.

The actual component tests immediately follow the LED tests. A normal (no fault)

result is signaled by a simultaneous flashing of these three LEDs three times,

followed by a quiescent state with all three LEDs dark.

If the Self-Test routine traps any component error, then following the LED tests the

Self-Test will halt and the LEDs will continuously signal the error according to the

following table. In the event of any such error signal, contact your dealer for

correction of the faulty unit.
