B.2. Supported Printers and Performance Features

This print server can attach any printer with a standard or high- speed IEEE 1284 compliant Centronics parallel port to any place in your TCP/IP environment.

The performance-related features of the hardware are as follows:

Intermate100

•MCF 5307 RISC Processor with 70 MIPS performance

•8 Mbyte RAM

•2 Mbyte Flash memory for micro-code.

Intermate101

•MCF 5307 RISC Processor, 66Mhz

•32 Mbyte RAM

•4 Mbyte Flash memory for micro-code.

If you enable the Network Destination Option (NDO), up to four network printers— attached to the LAN with any kind of print server you wish—can be made known to the Intermate1xx, thus making the facilities of one multi-protocol print server available to up to five different printers. You also have the option of using the Intermate1xx as a stand-alone, supporting in all up to four differ- ent printers, all of them network destinations. To use the NDO on a G22-based print server, you must purchase a key; demo printing is not possible.

The Intermate1xx retrieves printer status information from a network printer through SNMP. For this to function properly, a network target printer must support the status information nodes defined in the Printer MIB (RFC1759) and some host information nodes of the Host Resources MIB (RFC1518).
