Introduction
The D-Link DP-301U Print Server is a packet size print server that connects to your
Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network anywhere you wish to locate printer services. The
DP-301U manages the flow of print files from workstations or file servers to
connected printers, delivering print jobs to printers much faster than a file server or a
PC acting as a print server can.
The DP-301U includes easy-to-use software to install on most Windows-based
networks. Protocol support for TCP/IP, NetBEUI, and AppleTalk are provided to
ensure seamless connection to major networking Operating Systems.
The DP-301U has a built in Web-Based management feature that allows users to
easily configure and manage multiple print queues through TCP/IP. The DP-301U
also supports Telnet as an alternative method to configure the unit.
The DP-301U improves network printing services in the following ways:
The DP-301U 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.
The DP-301U’s USB printer port is USB 2.0 port, which can transmit to high-speed
laser printer much faster than a PC’s USB printer port. High-speed laser printer
connected to the Print Server’s USB port can be operated at their full capacity.
