Service Guide 3
A 133-MHz PowerPC processor oversees print engine operations and PostScript
image processing. The printer features an integral bi-directional parallel port
(IEEE 1284C with ECP mode) and a 10BaseT Ethernet port (with support for
EtherTalk, Novell NetWare/NDS, TCP/IP, DHCP and Windows Peer-to-Peer).
A USB high-speed serial port is also provided. A rear panel slot allows
customers to install one “smart card” PhaserShare Series B Network Card. One
card provides a LocalTalk port. A second, alternative card offers a 10/100BaseT/
10Base2 Ethernet board providing standard protocol support for EtherTalk,
Novell NetWare/NDS, TCP/IP and DHCP. When installed, this card disables the
standard 10baseT port. A third card provides a Token Ring board providing
protocol support for TokenTalk, Novell NetWare/NDS and TCP/IP. When
inserted, this card also disables the standard 10baseT port.
A second rear panel slot accommodates an internal IDE hard drive for print job
collation, job accounting, and font storage.
The printer features Job Accounting, which maintains from 50 to 5000 records of
processed print jobs, depending on memory options and hard drive options. The
record contains information such as time and duration of the print and the
percentage of color coverage on the print. The log of records can be retrieved
using PhaserLink or PhaserShare software.
