Introduction
5
In the direct connection configuration, the client
Macintosh sends a print job to the print server, which puts
the job in a print queue and then sends it to the printer.
This speeds up transmission of the job because it is sent
over the network only once.
In a “typical” network configuration, the print server and
client Macintosh computers are all connected to the printer
via an optional interface card, with the StylusRIP software
(server or client version) installed on all the computers.
In a typical configuration, the print job is sent over the
network twice before it is printed: once from the client to
the printer server and once from the printer server to the
printer.
Note:
You may experience problems if you have more than one printer on
the network in a “mixed” configuration. For example, if you have
one EPSON Stylus printer connected to a serial port and set up as
remote only and another connected via a network interface card on
the same network, you cannot set the network/AppleTalk
®
control
panel for remote only and Ethernet at the same time.
