Section 2
2 Network services overview
The Ethernet option provides the services described in this section.
Note: Other additional services include a Ping client, address assignment, and printer discovery functions.
2.1 Print server
The print server provides printing services in the same manner as a printer connected directly to a USB
interface except that the printer is connected through the local area network to the client PC. The print
server must be properly configured to provide this printing capability.
n The print server is capable of queuing up to eight client PCs while printing. Communications between
each PC and the Ethernet-enabled printer are implemented over a bi-directional TCP/IP interface.
n All clients are able to send print jobs to the printer and monitor printer jobs and errors with the
standard Windows printing system using the printer driver installed on their local PC.
In this way, you know whether or not a print job has been successful. Also, you know what problems have
been encountered while processing the print job. Printing using Ethernet works in a manner similar to the
USB-connected PC/printer.
2.2 Web page server
An HTTP service serves web pages that provide an interface through which to configure and monitor the
printer.
Note: Users may also monitor all print jobs that have been sent to the printer from any client PC.
2.3 Reviewing the Network Management interface
The Ethernet enabled printer operates as an SNMP agent to allow central administrators to monitor and
configure the network interface and the printer.
Note: A standard host MIB-II is implemented to maximize the utility of the printer on the network.
