LaserShare is an intelligent printer controller that allows up to four or eight computers to send data to a single HP LaserJet Series II, IID, III, IIID, Brother HL8e* and HL8v*, or Wang LDP8 laser printer.
LaserShare connects directly into the optional I/O slot of the laser printer. Power is taken directly from the laser printer so there is no need for a power cord. LaserShare can accept data from all ports simultaneous and is printed on a first-in first-out basis. All LaserShare models come standard with a buffer that can range from 256K to 4.0 MB. LaserShare 4C comes with four EIA-232C serial ports, LaserShare 8C comes with eight serial ports, LaserShare 4E comes with two parallel and two serial ports, and LaserShare 4A comes with four parallel ports.
*The LaserShare device for the Brother HL8e and HL8v is referred to as LaserShare 4CB. This device is available with four (4) serial computer ports and a fixed buffer size of 256KB.
