INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your pocket-sized Print Server, the
easiest and fastest way to deploy printers on your network.
This compact print server can connect your network through a switch
or hub between PC/Notebook and print server anywhere you wish to
locate printer services. It manages the flow of print files from your
workstation or file server to its connected printers, delivering print
jobs to high-performance printers much faster than a file server or a
PC acting as a print server can.
The pocket-sized Print Server features a Web-based Configuration
Utility, which allows you to set up the print server through the web
browser easily and quickly. It also includes a simple software utility
PS-Utility, a user-friendly program that allows you to complete
settings for the print server.
