INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your 10/100Mbps Parallel Print Server,
the easiest and fastest way to deploy printers on your network.
This compact print server can connect your network through a switch
or hub between PC/Notebook and print server anywhere you wish to
locate printer services. It manages the flow of print files from your
workstation or file server to its connected printers, delivering print
jobs to high-performance printers much faster than a file server or a
PC acting as a print server can.
The 10/100Mbps Parallel Print Server features a Web-based
Configuration Utility, which allows you to set up the print server
through the web browser easily and quickly. It also includes a
simple software utility PS-Utility, a user-friendly program that allows
you to complete settings for the print server.
