Connect your printers to the network with print servers

Overview


Many businesses have printers, multifunction products (MFPs), and all-in-ones (AIOs) scattered all around their organizations. Many of these products may be connected to the network via a file server or even a personal PC. But organizations have begun to rethink their printing environment - connecting printers, MFPs and other products directly to a network. The result is better printer management, more robust user services, reduced technical support time and improved performance and reliability. This IT Guide highlights the benefits of print server connectivity for both IT staff and end users, and illustrates how easy it is to connect your printers directly to the network. The sections of the guide include:

» Why connect your printers to the network?: take a closer look at the business advantages intelligent printer management provides a modern company.
» Networking printers with print servers: review the different kinds of print servers you can use to network your printers.
» Print server advantages: learn more about how print servers help you improve your business productivity, save time, and gain flexibility.
» Total print management: once your printers are connected, a total print management solution gives you an integrated, scalable way to manage your print environment, save money, and increase productivity.
