Jetdirect explained - what is Jetdirect?

JetDirect is a Print Server/Internet connector which saves money, time and provides flexibility for businesses. It is a mechanism by which you can easily and affordably share the printer. The investment is maximized by the ability to share the printer with multiple users over the network. It provides a faster option of printing over 10/100 Base T Ethernet/Fast Ethernet.

The Web Jet admin software and the embedded web server, allow you to monitor the printer state/configuration over the internet. It is useful for diagnosing printer problems from another network, or, over the internet and recommending a fix to the local IT support guys to remedy the problem.

The flexibility to bring the printer on the network without having to connect to a powered up PC makes it an amazing device. It virtually provides you a way to turn the printer into a communication device. Indicators on it indicate the state, and, the buttons on it allow you to print the connectivity configuration on the printer from where it is connected.
