Print Station

The Intel

®

InBusiness

™

Print Station easily connects one or two printers to your network.

You can locate printers anywhere in your office and print to them from any networked

computer running Windows* 98, Windows 95, or Windows NT* 4.0.

The software from the CD-ROM installs quickly and easily on each PC on the network.

The Setup program detects each printer connected to a Print Station, lets each user specify

which printer to use, and installs the drivers for that printer.

Gather Equipment

• Printer cables from the Print Station to your printers must not exceed 6 feet or 1.83

meters and must be marked “IEEE 1284 compliant”.

• Use Category 5 network cable to connect the Print Station to the hub or switch. Cable

length must not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

• If you want to connect a printer that is currently connected to a computer, remove the

printer cable from the computer and move the printer to the location of the Print Station.

TIP: To wall-mount this product, use two # 4 pan head screws and the template in the

center of the Doing Business with Intel book.
