Print Server; Fax Server; Dns Server; Wins Server - Fujitsu N7100 Operator's Manual

Print Server

The print server refers to the computer or device used when multiple client computers use
a printer on the network. It receives print requests from the client computers on the
network and delivers them to the printer connected with the print server.
ATTENTION
 Windows 8 compatible printer drivers (32-bit) must be registered.
 Printer must be able to spool print jobs (to hard disk or memory). Contact your printer dealer
if uncertain whether your printer has a spool function.
 Printers that allow the status of print errors to be easily checked (via an LCD control panel, or
similar) are recommended.

Fax Server

The fax server refers to the computer equipped with a fax modem or a dedicated fax
board connected with a telephone line. It is used for sending faxes.
This scanner supports the following fax servers:
 RightFax
 StoneFax (Kofax Communication Server)
This fax server can be used to send the scanned data by fax.

DNS server

The function of DNS servers is the translation (resolution) of humanly memorable host
names and FQDN into the corresponding numeric IP addresses.

WINS Server

The WINS server handles name registration requests from WINS clients and registers
their names and IP addresses with the server database. The WINS server responds to
NetBIOS name queries submitted by clients and returns the IP address of the queried
name if it is listed in the server database.
In addition, when a DNS name resolution fails, the query can be transferred to the WINS
server.

DHCP Server

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is an auto-configuration protocol used for
an IP network. Network administrator intervention is not required when the DHCP server
is used because it assigns the IP addresses of scanners as well as computers
automatically.

NTP Server

NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a protocol to synchronize the time of computers on the
network with the correct time.
It is used when a client makes a time query through the network.
