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:
