Introduction

The D-Link DP-G321 Print Server is an 802.11g wireless Multi-Port Print Server that allows you to connect your USB printer or parallel printer directly to your network. Now you can locate printer services virtually anywhere in your home or office. The DP-G321 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 on a PC.

The DP-G321 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-G321 has a built in Web-based management feature that allows users to easily configure and manage print queues through TCP/IP.

The DP-G321 provides a 10/100Mbps auto-sensing Ethernet port, allowing flexible attachment to either 10BaseT or 100BaseTX networks. With two USB 2.0 ports and one standard parallel port, the DP-G321 is an ideal wireless high-speed Print Server for a home or office that has multiple printers.

The DP-G321 improves network printing services in the following ways:

￿The DP-G321 delegates print jobs to the network printer. 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-G321’s USB 2.0 ports can transmit data to high-speed laser printers much faster than a PC’s parallel printer port. With a separate parallel port, you will still have the option to use a standard parallel printer with the DP-G321.

￿Because the DP-G321 is very portable and inexpensive compared to a PC-based print server, and the Print Server connects to your file servers through the network, printers can be deployed to locations of maximum convenience to users.
