>>> DPR-1260 Basic Configuration
Step 1. Install drivers for your printer on your computer. Confirm that your printer is functioning correctly.
Step 2. Turn the printer off. Connect the USB cable from your printer to one of the USB ports on the Print Server. Turn the printer on. Turn the Print server on.
Step 3. Connect computer and the Print Server to your network using network cables. Confirm connectivity by checking the LAN link lights.
Step 4. Verify the IP address on your computer. To check your computer's IP go to Start > Run > type 'cmd' and press OK. Then type 'ipconfig'. Note the IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.
Step 5. Make sure that your computer's IP address is in the 192.168.0.x range. To set your computer to the 192.168.0.x range temporarily go to Start > Control Panel > Network Connection > Local Area Connection > Properties > Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) > Properties. Set with the following:
IP Address 192.168.0.9
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0.
Step 6. Open your Internet Explorer and type in the following address: http://192.168.0.10. Press Enter. You should see the print server's interface.
Step 7. Click on Setup > Network Settings. You will be prompted to login, the default password is blank so leave the password field empty and click on 'Login'.
On the Network Settings page:
- Set IP address mode to Static.
- Specify the IP address you want your Print Server to have. The IP address should be within the range of addresses used on your network (verified in Step 4). But it can not repeat the address of any of the devices on your network (having the last octet of the address between 2 and 99 would be the safest option).
- Specify Subnet Mask and Default Gateway as seen in Step 4.
Click on the Save button. Close the Internet Explorer window.
Step 8. Change your computer's network setting back to how they were before (see Step 5).
Step 9. Open Internet Explorer and type the new IP address which you've assigned to the Print Server in Step 7. Press Enter.
Step 10. Click on Setup and then on Print Wizard. Click Next.
Step 11. Select the USB port your printer is connected to. Click Next.
Step 12. Click Next on the next screen and on the File Download windows click 'Run'.
This will install your printer as network printer.

Step 2. Click on Setup and then on Wireless Settings.
Set Wireless On/Off to 'ON'.
Type in your Wireless Network Name (SSID). Note that it is case-sensitive and should be exactly the same as on your other wireless devices.
Step 3. Select the Wireless Mode:
'Infrastructure' - if you have a wireless Access Point or a router with Access Point.
'Ad-Hoc' - if you do not have a wireless Access Point or a wireless router (peer-to-peer connection).
Step 4. Select the Security Mode that you have on your network:
'WEP' - specify the Key length (64-bit or 128-bit) and type in the security/encryption key you set up on your other wireless devices.
'WPA' - select the Cipher Type (TKIP or AES or both) and type in your Pre-shared key that you set up on your other wireless devices.
Step 5. Click on Save and then click on Reboot.
