80年代末期开始,人们就接触到了“网络打印”这一概念,但业界至今也没有就网络打印机形成一个统一标准,许多厂商都提出了关于网络打印机的不同概念。那么,施乐公司眼中的网络打印机应该是什么样的呢?记者为此采访了施乐公司的应用方案顾问李伟先生。李伟先生指出,网络打印机首先是网络产品,它应该在网络上构成一个完整节点,可以响应网络上所发出的各种指令和请求,管理员可以象管理网络中的桌面 PC 一样对网络打印机进行管理。其次,网络打印机的主板设计应该是基于网络的设计,这样才能实现实时监控、反馈以及快速、合理地处理作业。再次,网络打印机应该能够支持当前流行的网络操作系统,这样才能保证网络打印机在用户工作环境中的广泛适用性。基于以上认识,施乐提出,真正的网络打印机应该具备如下几个特点:
Since the late 1980s, people have come into contact with the concept of “network printing,” but the industry has not yet formed a unified standard for network printers. Many manufacturers have proposed different concepts for network printers. So, what kind of network printer should Xerox think? The reporter interviewed Mr. Li Wei, an application program consultant of Xerox Corporation. Mr. Li Wei pointed out that the network printer is firstly a network product. It should constitute a complete node on the network. It can respond to various instructions and requests issued on the network. Administrators can use the network printer as the desktop PC in the management network. management. Second, the design of the network printer’s motherboard should be based on the design of the network, so as to achieve real-time monitoring, feedback and fast and reasonable processing operations. Again, network printers should be able to support the current popular network operating systems, so as to ensure the wide applicability of network printers in the user’s work environment. Based on the above understanding, Xerox proposed that a true network printer should have the following characteristics:
