The Print Server is a pocket-sized device for connecting a printer
directly to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet local-area network (LAN). The
Print Server will manage the flow of data from networked computers to
the connected printer, delivering jobs to the printer much faster than a
computer acting as a file server or print server can.
Product Capabilities
The single port Print Server improves network printing services in
three ways:
♦ The Print Server picks up the workload of managing print file traffic
to the connected printer. This provides workload relief to your file
servers, and allows the file servers' full capacity to be used for file
access and other direct services to network users. On peer-to-peer
networks, workstations can print directly to the Print Server without
increasing the load of another workstation or server.
♦ The Print Server 's IEEE 1284-compliant high-speed bi-directional
parallel printer port can transmit data much faster than a
computer's parallel printer port can. A high-speed laser printer can
be driven at its full capacity.
♦ Because the Print Server is very portable (pocket-sized) and
inexpensive compared to a computer-based print server, and
because the Print Server connects to your file servers through
