Features

• Support for 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T

• The Network Interface Board is compatible with NetWare (IPX/SPX),

Windows NT (TCP/IP, NetBEUI), Windows 95/98 (TCP/IP, NetBEUI) ,

and Macintosh (AppleTalk) protocols. This allows you to use the printer in

a network that uses different protocols and operating systems.

• A computer used as a dedicated print server is not required because the

Network Interface Board can be configured as a NetWare print server.

• The Network Interface Board can connect the printer to the network with-

out requiring its own power supply because the Network Interface Board

is installed inside the printer.
