Lantronix® xPrintServer® User Guide 13

3. Connect printer(s).

- For USB printers: connect the USB printer cable to the USB port of the xPrintServer

device, if any.

- For network printers: connect all printers to the network through a wired, wireless–to-

router, switch or LAN connection.

4. Connect the network cable from the router/switch to the xPrintServer device.

5. Power on the xPrintServer device with the supplied power adapter. The xPrintServer device

will automatically set-up all printers on your network and/or USB-connected printers. The

glowing “X” will blink quickly for about 30 seconds, and then it will pulse slowly to show it is

ready for printing.

6. Monitor the LEDs on the xPrintServer for activity and status information (see Ethernet LEDs

and Status LEDs.)

xPrintServer Device Network Details

The xPrintServer device is hardwired (via standard CAT-5) cabling to a router, switch or hub. The

system requires an Access Point (A/P), which can be also hardwired and connected to the

network. The tablet or smart phone device associates with the A/P

and communicates to the

xPrintServer when a print job is ready to be processed. The xPrintServer device communicates

with network attached printer(s); the printers may either be wired or wirelessly connected to the

network.

For the xPrintServer device to auto-detect printers on bootup, the xPrintServer and printers must

be on the same subnet. After auto-detection has been completed, the xPrintServer device can

then be relocated to a different subnet (Wi-Fi connected subnet that devices are connected to)

assuming that subnet can route to the previous subnet.

The xPrintServer device uses Zeroconf to advertise print services to the your tablet, smartphone

or PC device(s) and requires your device(s) and the xPrintServer are on the same routable

network

Multicast configuration and support can be found in the Lantronix knowledgebase. You may

perform word searches, such as for “multicast”, at http://www.lantronix.com/resources/.
