DP-301 Print Server Hardware Guide

Introduction
Service Features
DP-301 print servers improve network printing services in three ways:
♦ The DP-301 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 DP-301 without increasing the load
of another workstation or server.
♦ The DP-301's IEEE 1284 compliant high-speed bidirectional parallel
printer port can transmit to high-speed laser printers much faster than a
PC's parallel printer port. A high-speed laser printer can be driven at its
full capacity.
♦ Because the DP-301 is very portable and inexpensive compared to a PC-
based print server, and because the DP-301 connects to your file servers
through the network, the printer can be stationed at the location of
maximum convenience to users.
The DP-301 offers extraordinary flexibility, operating with all major
network operating systems and protocols:
♦ IPX/SPX
Novell NetWare 3.x, 4.x (Using either bindery emulation or native NDS)
♦ TCP/IP
UNIX lpr/lpd (HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, SCO, UnixWare, IBM AIX)
Windows NT
♦ NetBEUI
Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows for Workgroups, Microsoft LAN
Manager, IBM LAN Server
♦ AppleTalk
MacOS EtherTalk
