Hypertec FastPrint Multiprotocol Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Print Server Hardware manual

Print Server Features

HyperNet Fastprint print servers improve network printing services in three ways:

♦The HyperNet Fastprint picks up the workload of managing print file traffic to its connected printers. 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 HyperNet Fastprint without increasing the load of another workstation or server.

♦The HyperNet Fastprint's parallel printer ports are IEEE 1284 compliant high-speed bidirectional ports, which can transmit to high- speed laser printers much faster than a PC's parallel printer port. High-speed laser printers connected to the HyperNet Fastprint's parallel ports can be operated at full their capacity.

♦Because the HyperNet Fastprint is very portable and inexpensive compared to a PC-based print server, and because the HyperNet Fastprint connects to your file servers through the network, printers can be deployed to locations of maximum convenience to users.

The HyperNet Fastprint offers extraordinary flexibility, operating with all major network operating systems and protocols:
