Features & Benefits
The print servers allow users to share printers over the network through simple,
transparent printing operation. Tested with a wide range of different printer models,
D-Link print servers offer a high level of compatibility. They support multiple network
Operating Systems, including Windows, Mac OS and Linux, giving users the flexibility
of installing their print servers regardless of the network environment.
The single-port print servers are cost-effective for both large offices and small
workgroups. For homes and the small office with just one printer to share, these
single-port devices save costs. For large offices with many printers scattered at
different places, users can plug a single-port print server to each of these printers and
share them on the network.
The multi-port print servers have a number of printer ports, so users don’t need to
install a separate print server for each printer that they want to share. Where printers
are closely placed together, it makes sense to buy a print server that offers multiple
printer ports. Each of the printers can be attached to a port of the same print server
through a printer cable. Multi-port print servers are equipped with powerful CPU and
abundant RAM buffers, so even when all printers are printing at the same time, users
will not experience any degradation of performance.
The multifunction print servers allow users to take advantage of the scanning and fax
functions of the multifunction printers. These print servers will take care of sending
output scanned files to specified network destinations. Fax messages from users’
computers can also be sent to the print server for transmission from the printer.
PRINT SERVERS
» Multifunction printers are equipment with
printing, scanning and faxing functions.
» Scanning support allows users to use
these printers to scan documents and
send the output files to a user computer
or server.
» Faxing support allows users to send
fax message from a workstation to the
printer for transmission.
» IP address can be set in a print server
for remote users to output print files to
the printer from a remote place.
» Using this protocol, a print server can
collect information and report the status
of the attached printer.
» Useful for office environments and multi-
port printers; this function allows the
network administrator to set access to
the printer.
» Easy setup and management of print
jobs.
» Print servers can be managed in an
SNMP environment.
