Description
Bi-directional parallel port with plug-and-play support; PhaserShare™ cards provide
optional network interfaces for Ethernet (Novell NetWare, EtherTalk, and TCP/IP),
Token Ring (Novell NetWare, TokenTalk, and TCP/IP), as well as LocalTalk
(LocalTalk and RS-232).
PhaserLink software provides a breakthrough in printer control and information access,
using HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol, the basis for World Wide Web browsers).
This software allows you to use a standard web browser for these tasks:
View printer status
Control printer configuration
View consumable information
Link to online documentation via the World Wide Web
Note
To use PhaserLink software, the printer must be connected to a network running TCP/IP.
Refer to the PhaserShare Status Software User Manual for complete details.
The Phaser 560 Color Printer has 17 resident PostScript fonts in the standard
configuration, upgradable to 39 fonts with the Extended Features option. Additionally, it
accepts Adobe Type 1, Type 3, and TrueType downloadable fonts as well as a variety of
user-defined fonts. For additional font storage, the printer provides a SCS (Small
Computer System Interface) port that allows you to attach an external hard disk.
