Intermate100 and Intermate101 Print Server Administration Manual 231
Technical Information: Supported Printers and Performance Features
B.2. Supported Printers and Performance Features
This print server
can attach any printer with a standard or high-
speed IEEE 1284 compliant Centronics parallel port to any place
in your TCP/IP environment.
The performance-related features of the hardware are as
follows:
Intermate100
• MCF 5307 RISC Processor with 70 MIPS performance
•8 Mbyte RAM
• 2 Mbyte Flash memory for micro-code.
Intermate101
• MCF 5307 RISC Processor, 66Mhz
• 32 Mbyte RAM
• 4 Mbyte Flash memory for micro-code.
If you enable the Network Destination Option (NDO), up to four
network printers— attached to the LAN with any kind of print
server you wish—can be made known to the
Intermate1xx
, thus
making the facilities of one multi-protocol print server available to
up to five different printers. You also have the option of using the
Intermate1xx
as a stand-alone, supporting in all up to four differ-
ent printers, all of them network destinations. To use the NDO on a
G22-based print server, you must purchase a key; demo printing
is not possible.
The Intermate1xx retrieves printer status information from a
network printer through SNMP. For this to function properly, a
network target printer must support the status information
nodes defined in the Printer MIB (RFC1759) and some host
information nodes of the Host Resources MIB (RFC1518).
