1. Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of your FastPrint Server’s
features.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new FastPrint Server. The FastPrint is designed
to provide a simple and efficient network printing solution. It is packed with features,
including:
Ø Versatility. The FastPrint Server supports up to five protocols: NetWare, TCP/IP,
SMB (Service Message Block), AppleTalk (EtherTalk), and NetBEUI. It features
two Ethernet interface ports. Operating system support includes Unix, Linux,
Novell, and Microsoft Windows.
Ø Easy Installation. The FastPrint Server makes adding printers or plotters to your
network simple. It supports both 10BaseT and 100BaseT connections. Its LAN
interface auto-sensing feature means that there is no need to set jumpers or perform
software configuration to select the network interface used.
Ø Compact Size. The FastPrint can be used even where space is limited.
Ø Remote Management Tools. A variety of software tools are provided. In most
environments, both the FastPrint Server and attached bi-directional printers can be
configured remotely.
Ø SNMP Support. The FastPrint Server can act as a SNMP agent, with its own MIB.
This allows TCP/IP users to monitor, configure and troubleshoot the FastPrint using
their existing SNMP management tools.
Ø Internet Printing. Using TCP/IP, the FastPrint can be configured to allow clients,
suppliers, colleagues and others to print to one of your printers from anywhere on
the Internet.
