4 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.x  Linux, Solaris, SCO Unix, AIX
5  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. The DPR-1040 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-1040 can connect to almost any make and model printer on the market today. The DPR-1040 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-1040 has a built in Web-Based management feature that allows users to easily configure and manage multiple print queues through TCP/IP. The DPR-1040 improves network printing services in the following ways:  The DPR-1040 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.  Because the DPR-1040’s very portable and inexpensive compared to a PC-based print server, and Print Server connects to your file servers through the network,
6 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-1040 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 Softwarea user-friendly program used to complete further settings for the MFP Server, contains PS-Link and PS-Wizard:  PS-Link 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.  PS-Wizard 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.
7 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. (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.)
8 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.
9 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.  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.  WirelessLink/Act Steady green confirms that the Print Server has a good connection to the Wireless network. The indicator blinks off briefly to indicate that the Print Server is receiving or transmitting from the network.
10 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. Connect the DPR-1040 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.
11 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. Immediately after power-up, all three of the green LEDs should illuminate steadily for several seconds. Then the USB LED 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.

13 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. For a list of printers that are compatible with the DPR-1040, please see the Appendix in this manual. The compatibility list is not comprehensive. Even if it is not included in the list, your printer may be compatible with the DPR-1040.
