Introduction
♦
The DP-300 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 DP-300 without
increasing the load of another workstation or server.
♦
The DP-300'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 DP-300's parallel ports can be
operated at full their capacity.
♦
Because the DP-300 is very portable and inexpensive compared to a
PC-based print server, and because the DP-300 connects to your file
servers through the network, printers can be deployed to locations of
maximum convenience to users.
The DP-300 offers extraordinary flexibility, operating with all major
network operating systems and protocols:
