Product Overview
The external print servers enhance capability by letting you place your printers at
convenient locations directly on the Ethernet network, and by increasing network
printer performance and management. Please note that the print server does not
support printing with host-based printers, e.g. CAPT, GDI, PPA.
Network Management
The print servers support the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP),
which remote printer management and a warning. A standard SNMP agent is
permanent on these print servers. Any standard SNMP-based application can be
used to access and manage these
print servers.
Network configuration
The print servers provide an embedded web server that can be accessed via a
proper web browser. We also subsidiary Windows-based PSAdmin utility which
help administrator to setup print server environment.
