  • Page 4: Introduction

    NTRODUCTION The DP-301 Print Server is a compact print server which connects to your Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network anywhere you wish to locate printer services. It manages the flow of print files from your workstations or file servers to its connected printers, delivering print jobs to high-performance printers much faster than a file server or a PC acting as a print server can.
