The Network Printer Card allows you to connect your printer 

directly to a network to share the printer among multiple users. 
The printer functions as a network print server supporting 
various network environments, such as Windows 98/Me/NT/

2000/XP/2003, UNIX, and Macintosh 8.6 or higher. 

This guide explains how to install the Network Printer Card and 
set up your printer as a print sever over the network. 

This guide assumes that you have:

• A good working knowledge of your network utilities

• A supported network operating system

• A fully operational computer system

• Access to the supervisor account as a network administrator, 

or access to an account that has supervisor and print server 

operator privileges

Administrators and users can configure, and use printers on the 

following supported network operating systems:

The following hardware is required to configure your printer for 
network applications.

Use a twisted pair cable with an RJ-45 connector to 
connect the printer to your network. 

Once a connection is established between the wired 

network printer card and your network, the link LEDs on 
the card light.
