Print Server Features HyperNet Fastprint print servers improve network printing services in three ways: ♦ The HyperNet Fastprint 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 HyperNet Fastprint without increasing the load of another w

Network Cable Connector The HyperNet Fastprint’s right side panel features an RJ-45 connector for connection to 10Base-T Ethernet cabling or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet cabling (which should be Category 5 twisted-pair cable). The port supports the NWay protocol, allowing the print server to automatically detect or negotiate the transmission speed of the network. DC Power Connector The DC power input connector is located on the HyperNet Fastprint’s right side panel and is labeled DC 12V. Figure

4. Connect the HyperNet Fastprint to the network, using the RJ-45 (10Base-T/100Base-TX) connector on the print server’s side panel. 5. While each printer is powered off, connect its tested and confirmed port to a like printer port of the HyperNet Fastprint. If you are connecting fewer than three printers, then keep in mind that parallel- port connections are preferred for high-performance printers. 6. Switch on each connected printer. 7.
