Introduction
The D-Link DP-301P+ Print Server is a packet size print server that connects to your
Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network anywhere you wish to locate printer services. The
DP-301P+ 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.
The DP-301P+ 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 DP-301P+ has a built in Web-Based management feature that allows users to
easily configure and manage multiple print queues through TCP/IP. The DP-301P+
also supports Telnet as an alternative method to configure the unit.
The DP-301P+ improves network printing services in the following ways:
The DP-301P+ 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 DP-301P+’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.
