The Print Server is a compact wireless print server which connects
to your network through an access point under the infrastructure
mode or can be used in ad-hoc mode for direct communication
between PC/Notebook and print server anywhere you wish to
locate wireless 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.
Print Server Features
The Print Server improve network printing services in three ways:
♦
The Print Server picks up the workload of managing print file
traffic to its connected printers. This provides workload relief to
your file servers, and allows the file servers' full capacity to be
used for file access or 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.
