Introduction
♦ The Print Server's parallel printer ports are IEEE 1284
compliant high-speed bidirectional ports, which can transmit
to high-speed laser printers much faster than a PC's parallel
printer port. High-speed laser printers connected to the Print
Server's parallel ports can be operated at their full capacity.
♦ Because the Print Server is very portable and inexpensive
compared to a PC-based print server, and because the Print
Server connects to your file servers through the network,
printers can be deployed to locations of maximum convenience
to users.
The Print Server offers extraordinary flexibility, operating with all
major network operating systems and protocols:
♦ IPX/SPX
Novell NetWare 3. x , 4. x, 5.x (Using either bindery emulation or
native NDS)
♦ TCP/IP
UNIX lpr/lpd (HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, SCO, UnixWare, IBM AIX)
Windows NT, Windows 2000/98/95
♦
NetBEUI
Windows NT, Windows 2000/98/95, Windows for Workgroups,
Microsoft LAN Manager, IBM LAN Server
♦ AppleTalk
MacOS EtherTalk
Windows-based setup and administration software, PS Admin , is
supplied with the Print Server, making configuration and
management quick and easy. The Print Server also supports
configuration and management via the
telnet
protocol for networks
without Windows-compatible machines.
