The EtherFast 10/100 2-Port Switched PrintServer houses two high-speed printer ports and four standard 10/100 switch ports, allowing you to connect up to two printers and four PCs (or other network devices) to your network without any additional hardware.The 2-Port Switched PrintServer comes with an easy-to-use software management suite that integrates seamlessly with all of the Windows operating systems. Fully compatible with regular laser, bubble jet, ink jet, and dot matrix printers, the PrintServer also supports bi-directional printers from HP, Panasonic, and other manufacturers. Equipped with Direct Memory Access (DMA) technology, a 256KB buffer, and automatic collision control, the PrintServer can handle print jobs up to 50% faster than regular print servers - even jobs with complex graphics and layout.

A four-port switch runs up to four times faster than a four-port hub!
