Network Services - Overview
The Ethernet option provides the services described in this section. (Note: Other
additional services include a Ping client, address assignment and Printer discovery
functions.)
Reviewing the Print Server
The Print Server provides printing services in the same manner as a printer connected
directly to a USB interface except that the Printer is connected through the local area
network to the client PC. The Print Server must be properly configured in order to
provide this printing capability.

The Print Server is capable of queuing up to eight (8) client PCs while printing.
Communications between each PC and the Ethernet-enabled Printer are
implemented over a bi-directional TCP/IP interface.

All clients are able to send print jobs to the Printer and monitor Printer jobs and
errors with the standard Windows printing system using the Printer Driver installed
on their local PC.
In this way, the User knows whether or not a print job has been successful. Also, the
User knows what problems have been encountered while processing the print job.
Printing using Ethernet works in a manner similar to the USB-connected PC/printer.
Reviewing the Web Page Server
An HTTP service serves web pages that provide an interface through which to configure
and monitor the Printer. (Note: Users may also monitor all print jobs that have been
sent to the Printer from any client PC.)
Reviewing the Network Management Interface
The Ethernet-enabled Printer operates as an SNMP agent to allow central administrators
to monitor and configure the network interface and the Printer. (Note: A standard host
MIB-II is implemented to maximize the utility of the Printer on the network.)
Network Management Interface
The SNMP interface is described below.
Interface Description
SNMP

The Ethernet interface is a fully-manageable SNMP agent that
supports MIB-II.

The Ethernet interface is MIB II compliant, allowing SNMP managers
to monitor protocol, network and routing statistics.
