This chapter provides an overview of your IOPRINT+ Print
Server’s features.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new IOPRINT+ Print Server. This device
was designed to provide a simple and efficient network printing solution. It is
packed with features, including:
¾
Versatility.
The IOPRINT+ Print Server supports up to five protocols:
NetWare, TCP/IP, SMB (Service Message Block), AppleTalk (EtherTalk), and
NetBEUI. It features one or two Ethernet interface ports and operating system
support includes Unix, Novell, and Microsoft Windows.
¾
Easy Installation.
The IOPRINT+ Print Server makes adding printers or
plotters to your network simple. Depending on your model, it will support
10BaseT only, 10Base2 and 10BaseT, or 10BaseT and 100BaseT. The auto-
sensing feature on the LAN interface means that there is no need to set jumpers
or perform software configuration to select the network interface used.
¾
Easy Setup.
. A number of utility programs are supplied to simplify setup. For
Windows 95/98/NT users, the BiAdmin program makes it easy to configure the
Print Server for a variety of network and server configurations.
¾
Web-based interface.
On 100BaseT models, the Web-based interface
provides an easy method of configuration in TCP/IP networks.
¾
Compact Size.
This allows the IOPRINT+ Print Server to be used even where
space is limited.
¾
Remote Management Tools.
A variety of software tools are provided. In
most environments, both the IOPRINT+ Print Server and attached bi-directional
printers can be configured remotely.
¾
SNMP Support.
The IOPRINT+ Print Server can act as a SNMP agent, with
it own MIB. This allows TCP/IP users to monitor, configure and troubleshoot
the IOPRINT+ Print Server using their existing SNMP management tools.
¾
JetAdmin Support.
100BaseT models support HP's JetAdmin utility. If you
are already using the HP JetAdmin program, you can also use this program to
manage your 100BaseT IOPRINT+ Print Server.
¾
Internet Printing.
Using TCP/IP, the IOPRINT+ Print Server can be
configured to allow clients, suppliers, colleagues and others to print to one of
your printers from anywhere on the Internet.
Year 2000 Compliance
The IOPRINT+ Print Server does not store the date, nor does it perform date
calculations. When necessary, it obtains the current date from the network or client
operating system. We recommend the use of network and client operating systems
which are year 2000 compliant.
