DEC-PrintServer32

The PrintServer 32 is a high-speed, high-volume departmental laser printer designed for centralized management from a desktop. It's intended for busy departments with significant printing needs, capable of producing up to 150,000 pages per month at 32 impressions per minute (simplex or duplex).

Key features and benefits include:

• Desktop Management: System managers can monitor all print functions remotely, control access, manage queues, track usage for accounting, and diagnose problems, saving time and improving efficiency.
• High Performance: Handles complex print jobs, graphics, and multifont text, with 300x300 dpi resolution enhanced by Digital's DECimage technology, approaching 800-1000 dpi quality.
• Versatile Connectivity: Connects directly to Ethernet, supporting users on VAX/VMS, ULTRIX, BSD UNIX, and OSF/1 V1.0 across DECnet and TCP/IP networks, eliminating the need for multiple dedicated printers.
• PostScript Support: Utilizes the industry-standard PostScript page description language for professional-looking documents and broad application compatibility.
• Cost & Time Savings: Offers duplex printing, the ability to load resources like logos and forms (reducing the need for pre-printed materials), and informs users when jobs are ready to reduce wasted trips to the printer.
• Flexible Media Handling: Supports various media types (paper, transparencies, labels) and sizes, with multiple input trays, and features like "number-up" printing for paper conservation.

The PrintServer 32 is presented as a complete printing system with integrated hardware and software (Supporting Host and Print Client components) to simplify high-volume, shared network printing.
