Introduction
The D-Link DP-300U Print Server is an Ethernet/USB print server that connects
to your Ethernet, Fast Ethernet or USB network anywhere you wish to locate
printer services.
The DP-300U manages the flow of print files from workstations
or file servers to connected printers, delivering print jobs to printers much faster
than a file server or a PC acting as a print server can.
With two IEEE1284
parallel ports and one 1.1 USB port, DP-300U can connect to almost any make
and model printer on the market today.
The DP-300U includes easy-to-use software to install on most Windows-based
networks.
Protocol support for TCP/IP, NetBEUI, and AppleTalk are provided to
ensure seamless connection to major networking Operating Systems.
The DP-300U has a built in Web-Based management feature that allows users to
easily configure and manage multiple print queues through TCP/IP.
The DP-
300U also supports Telnet as an alternative method to configure the unit.
The DP-300U improves network printing services in the following ways:
!
The DP-300U 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 Print Server without increasing the
load of another workstation or server.
!
The DP-300U°s parallel printer ports are IEEE1284-compliant high-speed
bi-directional 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 Print Server°s parallel ports can be operated at their full
capacity.
!
Because the DP-300U is very portable and inexpensive compared to a
PC-based print server, and Print Server connects to your file servers
through the network, printers can be deployed to locations of maximum
convenience to users.
