Product Overview

Features and Benefits

Reliability

The print server provides high performance and reliability combined with low

 

power consumption. The electronic circuits are based on the AXIS ETRAX 100 LX

 

chip, which comprises an integrated 32 bit RISC processor and associated

 

network controllers.

Flexibility

The print server supports printing in all major computer systems and

 

environments, including five different print methods in the TCP/IP environment.

 

The integrated IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) function allows for printing from

 

LAN to LAN via a WAN, such as the Internet.

Speed

The AXIS ETRAX 100 LX chip supports data transfer rates of up to 200 Mbit/s

 

(100 Mbit Ethernet full duplex).

Easy to Install

The print server installs, operates and is managed in a reliable and easy fashion.

Security

You can assign a password to restrict login and printer access. It is also possible

 

to disable protocols and force a secure mode (https).

Monitoring

The internal print server Web pages and AXIS ThinWizard (3.0 and up) allow you

 

to continuously monitor printer status. The Web pages are used to monitor

 

single Axis units while AXIS ThinWizard can be used to monitor multiple Axis

 

units.

 

Through e-mail notification, the administrator can be notified by e-mail

 

whenever an event that requires human intervention occurs in a printer. The e-

 

mail contains a short and concise description of the event.

Future Proof

The firmware stored in the print server Flash memory can be upgraded over the

 

network. This allows you to quickly update and enhance its operational features

 

when new print server software becomes available.

NetWare Packet

The print server supports NetWare Packet Signature Level 1, 2, 3, which

Signature

protects servers and clients using the NetWare Core Protocolservices. NCP

 

packet signature prevents packet forgery by requiring the server and the client

 

to sign each NCP packet. See your Novell NetWare documentation for detailed

 

information.
