Introduction Thank you for purchasing and using our 802.11g Wireless LAN MFP server. This MFP server allows your Multi-function, all-in-one printer (called for short: MFP) or printer to become a shared device on the network. Unlike many MFP servers, it can communicate with your all-in-one printer as if it was connected directly to your computer. This allows all users to share print, scan, card reader and fax (if available) over the network. You can also monitor important information such as ink levels.
Chapter 1: MFP server Modes This MFP server supports two modes: All-in-one MFP server Mode and MFP server Mode. Users can choose one of these modes to share all-in-one or printer functions through the MFP server. All-in-one MFP server Mode: The MFP server can communicate with an all-in-one printer as if it was connected directly to your computer. This enables users to connect to the all-in-one for sharing print, scan, card reader, and fax functions (if available).
MFP server Mode: The MFP server also supports LPR, IPP and RAW printing protocols, which enable users to share the print function from an all-in-one printer. The supported Operating Systems are Windows 98SE/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista, and MAC OS 9.x and above. For detailed instructions, please refer to the following chapters.

is connected to an active network by Ethernet cable when starting up, the MFP server will run in Ethernet mode. If the MFP server is not connected to an active network by Ethernet cable when starting up, the MFP server will run in wireless LAN mode. The MFP server default is in “Auto” mode. ESSID is the unique name identified by in a wireless LAN. The ID prevents the unintentional merging of two co-located WLANs.
6.4.2.1 Site Survey You can use this “Site Survey” function to search for available access points in your location. In the list is the information for all available access points or wireless stations, including SSID, BSSID, Channel, Type, Encryption and Signal Strength. You can select one wireless device in the list for this MFP server to associate with or go back to Wireless page to manually set up the wireless parameters.
6.4.2.2 Encryption This MFP server supports WEP, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK security mode. If you want to use WEP encryption to protect your wireless network, you have to select “WEP”. If you want to use WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK, you have to select one of them. The wireless security setting should match other wireless devices in the same network. WEP Security Mode: Key Length – You can choose “64-bit” to use WEP with 64-bit key length encryption or choose “128-bit” to use WEP with 128-bit key length encryption.
Key 1 – Key 4 – The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted within the wireless network. Fill the text box by following the rules below. 64-bit WEP: input 10-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 5-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys. For example: “0123456aef“ or “Guest“. 128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 10-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys. For example: “01234567890123456789abcdef“ or “administrator“.
WPA-PSK Mode Security Mode: “WPA-PSK” requires users to select the advanced encryption methods, (i.e. TKIP or AES) and enter a set of keys. TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the temporal key every 10,000 packets. This insures much greater security than the standard WEP security. AES – AES has been developed to ensure the highest degree of security and authenticity for digital information and it is the most advanced solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for security in the wireless network.
WPA2-PSK Mode Security Mode: TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the temporal key every 10,000 packets. This insures much greater security than the standard WEP security. Pre-shared Key Format – Select the type of pre-shared key, you can select Passphrase (8 or more alphanumerical characters, up to 63), or Hex (64 characters of 0-9, and a-f). WPA Pre-Shared Key –Enter 8 to 63 digits of ASCII format to be the key for authentication within the network.
6.4.3 TCP/IP You can configure the MFP Server to automatically get an IP address from DHCP server or manually specify a static IP. If you need the MFP server to automatically get an IP address from a DHCP server, select “Enable Obtain TCP/IP Settings Automatically (Use DHCP/ BOOTP)”.

Chapter 8 : RAW Printing RAW Printing allows users to connect to printers via TCP/IP for print sharing. A computer with Windows 2000/XP/2003 operating system can use the protocol to share printing on the network. The MFP server can support RAW printing by default. To configure the RAW setting in Windows 2000/XP/2003, please follow the steps below. Note that the following procedures are running in Windows XP. For Windows 2000/2003, the procedures are similar. 1.

Chapter 9: 9.1 IPP Printing Introduction IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) Printing provides a convenient way of remote printing service by TCP/IP. The MFP server can support IPP printing in Windows 2000/XP/2003 by default. By using the IPP printing, you can share the printer to all the PC’s that can access the MFP server by IP. You can even share your all-in-one printer or printer with Internet users. 9.2 9.2.1 System Setup MFP server Side Make sure the MFP server has the correct IP settings.
3. The “Add Printer Wizard” is displayed. Click “Next”. 4. Select “A network printer, or a printer attached to another computer”. Click “Next”.
5. Select “Connect to a printer on the Internet or on a home or office network” and enter the URL of the MFP server. The URL format is “http://IP:631/Port Name”. The IP should be the MFP server’s IP. The number 631 is IPP standard port number. Port Name is the port name of the MFP server that your printer is connected to. The default port name is “p1”. One example of the URL is http://192.168.2.2:631/p1. After entering the URL of the MFP server, click “Next”.
6. Select the manufacturer and the printer model and click “Next”. If your printer is not in the list, click “Have Disk…” to install the driver of the printer.

Chapter 10: MFP server Installation in MAC OS LPR Printing (Line Printer Remote technology) allows Macintosh computers to connect to printers via TCP/IP. LPR Printing can be set up on any Macintosh with version 9.x above. 10.1 MAC 10.4.x To enable LPR Printing in Macintosh 10.4.x, please follow the procedures below. 1. Open Print and Fax from the System Preferences. 2. With the Printing tab selected, click the “Add” button. 3. When the Printer Browser opens, select “IP Printer”. 4.
10.2 MAC 10.3.x To enable LPR Printing in Macintosh 10.3.x, please follow the procedures below. 1. In the Desktop, click “System Preferences”. 2. Click “Print & Fax”.
3. From the “Print & Fax” screen, click “Set Up Printers…”. 4. Click “Add” to add the new MFP server through TCP/IP.
5. Enter the “Printer Type”, “Printer Address” and “Queue Name” and select the “Printer Model” to set up the MFP server. Click “Add” to continue. Printer Type: LPD/LPR Printer Address: Input the IP Address of the MFP server Queue Name: The queue name of the MFP server is “p1”. Printer Model: Select the all-in-one printer or Printer Model that is attached to the MFP server.
6. The MFP server is installed completely. You can see it in the “Printer List”. 7. You can print a file to check whether the MFP server is installed successfully.
Chapter 11: Troubleshooting 1. The MFP server is not found even after searching with the “MFP Manager”. Check if the power adapter and the network cable are connected to the MFP server properly. Check if the LAN and Ready LEDs are turned on. Check if the IP Address of the MFP server is in the some network segment as your computer. - If you are not sure of the IP Address setting of the MFP server, please check the TCP/IP setting of the MFP server from the “Server Manager”. 2.
3. A user stays connected to the MFP server. Contact the current user and ask to disconnect the device. If the user forgets to disconnect the device, you can ask the administrator to release the device. 4. I can’t use the all-in-one printer to scan, print, use the card reader, or fax a file even I have followed the instructions in the manual. Attach the all-in-one printer to a PC directly and make sure it is operating correctly. 5.
6. When I use LPR, IPP or RAW printing, I am not able to print to the all-in-one printer or printer. Check if the all-in-one printer is “Idle” but not being connected. Printing from all PCs connected to the MFP server will be performed when the MFP server is not being connected. Printing jobs will be queuing in the Windows spooler when there is a PC which is the connected with MFP server. Disable “Bi-Directional Support”. Please follow the steps below. 1.
