Print Servers
Multiport, Multiprotocol Print Servers
D-Link's multiprotocol print servers turn any printer into a network printer through a simple plug to the printer port.
Supporting multiple protocols and multiple high-speed printer ports, these compact hand-held devices bring a high
level of flexibility, performance and convenience to printer sharing over the network.
2 Flexible Choices
2 models are available: one providing lower cost
through dedicated connection to 10Mbps
Ethernet, the other offering flexible attachment to
10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. A combo 10BASE-
T/BNC interface is provided for the dedicated
model, while an auto-negotiate NWay port is
provided for the 10/100Mbps device.
2 Parallel Ports, 1 Serial Port
Each model is equipped with 2 high-speed
parallel ports, and 1 serial port transmitting at up
to 57.6Kbps. This allows simultaneous
connection to as many as 3 printers while
eliminating PC printer port bottlenecks and
reducing demands on network servers.
Multiprotocol Support
Supporting IP, NetBEUI and Apple EtherTalk
protocols, these print servers are ideal for shared
printing in mixed-LAN environments.
Bi-directional Communication
Both parallel ports support HP PJL protocol for bi-
directional network printer communication,
proactively providing the administrator with critical
information about the network printers.
Versatile Administrative Program
An simple-to-operate GUI under Windows makes
it possible to set up the print servers in the matter
of minutes. Telnet support means that the
administrator can also configure and maintain the
print servers from any station on a Unix or TCP/IP
network.
Performance, Convenience
With multiple high-speed ports and large spool
buffers, D-Link's print servers provide outstanding
performance over PC-based print servers and PC
parallel/serial connections. The print server'
compact size makes it possible to place them
next to the printers, and to relocate the printers
anytime, anywhere on the network.
