Chapter 1:Introduction
The EtherFast 10/100 PrintServer is the easiest and fastest way to add up to
three printers to your network. Because it is equipped with up to three high-
speed printer ports, the 10/100 PrintServer allows any PC on the network to
print to any combination of laser, color, bubble jet, ink jet, and even dot matrix
printers—including the latest generation of bi-directional and bi-tronic printers
from HP, Lexmark, and others. The EtherFast 10/100 PrintServer is the ideal
choice for both large corporations and small workgroups with printer sharing
needs. Plus, it attaches directly to your network's cabling, so no dedicated print
server PC is required. Each 3-Port or 1-Port EtherFast 10/100 PrintServer
comes will a full suite of management utilities and support for multiple net-
work protocols. Adding a PrintServer to your 10/100 LAN will save money and
increase your network’s efficiency.
