Kodak 10/100 NIC Introduction and Configuration

1.7Protocols

¥The NIC supports TCP/IP, Novell IPX, EtherTalk and NetBeui/NetBios protocols.

¥Users can print in either PostScript or raster mode.

IMPORTANT: Printing in raster mode using EtherTalk is possible only from a Macintosh. For non-Macintosh systems using EtherTalk, you can print only in PostScript mode.

1.8 Network Performance

Network performance depends heavily on the topology of a network (networked elements, that is, the # of users/nodes, inter-connectivity and conÞguration of hubs, switches, subnets, routers, etc.) and will vary for speciÞc environments.

A color-capable printer accepting large print jobs (1 to 100 Mbytes) may be a critical factor in environments where network utilization optimization is critical. A Kodak printer with a Kodak 10/100 NIC operating in a 100 Mbit environment may drastically improve your networkÕs performance because it will only require a fraction (1/10) of the subnet network bandwidth that would be necessary if it was operating at 10 Mbits.
