D-Link DPR-1061 Manual - Page 5

Introduction The D-Link DPR-1061 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 DPR-1061 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 one IEEE1284 parallel port and two USB 2.0 ports, DPR-1061 can connect to almost any make and model printer on the market today. The DPR-1061 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 DPR-1061 has a built in Web-Based management feature that allows users to easily configure and manage multiple print queues through TCP/IP. The DPR-1061 improves network printing services in the following ways: „ The DPR-1061 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 DPR-1061's parallel printer port is IEEE1284-compliant high-speed bi-directional port, which can transmit to high-speed laser printer much faster than a PC's parallel printer port. High-speed laser printer connected to the Print Server's parallel port can be operated at their full capacity. 1
