Parallel Port 10/100Mbps Print Server
The Mini100s parallel port print server directly attaches to a printer. The print server supports IPP, and even a network beginner can set up the product with ease via the supplied configuration utility for Windows "Smart Print Manager 3".
Supports a wide range of OSes and protocols
The product not only supports standard network protocols including TCP/IP, IPX/SPX,NetBEUI and AppleTalk, but also complies with IPP (comes standard with Windows2000/XP) and the binary mode of AppleTalk. Its compatibility with multiple OSes and protocols enables printer sharing and its easy implementation in a multi-OS network environment that may contain Windows, UNIX, and MacOS computer clients.
Supports IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)
The Mini100u utilizes Windows 2000/XP's built-in printing protocol called "IPP" to enable printing via intranets and the Internet.
[Merits of IPP Compatibility]
Sending a document to a remote user over a network usually requires the sender to attach the document to an e-mail message and send it to the other party. In this scheme, the recipient must also open and print out the attached file. If the receiver has a printer with IPP support, on the other hand, the sender can directly print the document on the receiver's printer. In other words, the new scheme:
- Frees the receiving party from the need to open and print out an attachment
- Saves the trouble of starting a PC just to receive and print out the file
- Directly provides a printed copy of the document to the recipient, whether or not the receiver has the software the sending party used to prepare the document.
