2.1 Overview
Take advantage of wireless Ethernet technology with the Pure Networking Wireless
USB 10/100 Print Server. Perfect for mobile PCs and PDA users, it offers secure
printing at high speeds without installing cable. The PC or PDA need only be in
range, with a clear line-of-sight to the print server. The print server allows your
printer to become a shared device on the wireless network. It offers printing
flexibility and manageability on your Local Area Network at an extremely low cost
and with absolute minimum setup and maintenance required.
Three models are available:
• Pure Networking Wireless USB 10/100 Print Server, 1-Port, 802.11b
(LEP0002A). This provides an IEEE 802.11b wireless LAN, an Ethernet
network port, and one USB port.
• Pure Networking Wireless USB 10/100 Print Server, 1-Port, 802.11g
(LEP0003A). This gives you an IEEE 802.11g wireless LAN, an Ethernet
network port, and one USB port.
• Pure Networking Wireless USB 10/100 Print Server, 3-Port, 802.11g
(LEP0006A). This provides an IEEE 802.11g/b wireless LAN, an Ethernet
network port (10/100 Mbps Ethernet), two USB ports, and one parallel port
for printers.
The print server supports IPX™, TCP/IP, AppleTalk
®
, and NetBEUI protocols. It
is used with various common network operating systems, such as Windows
®
95/98/Me, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT
®
, and Mac
®
peer-to-peer
printing (PTPP). It also supports Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT,
NetWare
®
, UNIX
®
, and Linux
®
server-based printing.
Choose from two printing methods: send jobs directly to the print server (peer-to-
peer printing) or use the print server to send print jobs to a network server that
queues them for output (server-based printing).
