DPI reduces prices by up to 15 percent on 11 print server models.WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 1, 1995--As part of its efforts to provide the best value in print servers, DPI (Dots Per Inch) The measurement of the resolution of display and printing systems. A typical CRT screen provides 96 dpi, which provides 9,216 dots per square inch (96x96). Flat panel displays from 110 to 200 dpi have also been developed. (Digital Products Inc.) the leader in network printing, today announced it has reduced prices by up to 15 percent on 11 print servers including NETPrint/50 and NETPrint/51 for NetWare, Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. and TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. networks. NETPrint/50 and NETPrint/51, previously priced at $395, now offer the best value in multi-protocol printing at $345. Prices were reduced on four products for NetWare networks and seven products for VINES (VIrtual NEtworking System) An earlier Unix System V-based network operating system from Banyan Systems that ran on DOS and OS/2-based servers. It provided internetworking of PCs, minis, mainframes and other computer resources providing information sharing across networks. Price reductions are effective immediately. "These changes reflect DPI's commitment to providing the best value in print servers, DPI intends to continue to be the price leader for entry level print servers," said Joel Blenner, senior vice president of sales for DPI. "Because of cost reductions in our manufacturing process and increased demand for our products, we are able to pass on our cost-savings to our customers. DPI now offers flexible, low cost printing solutions for networks of all types." DPI also announced NETPrint/50 for VINES now supports VINES, Windows NT and TCP/IP, NETPrint/50 for VINES, which will continue to be priced at $595, is the lowest cost multi-protocol print server offered to the VINES market. NETPrint/50 for Novell (NETS50E/N E/N Everything/Nothing (genre of weblog sites) ) supports NetWare 2.2, 3.x, 4.x, WindowsNT and TCP/IP. NETPrint/50 connects one parallel printer to a single or multiple protocol networks. NETPrint/50 supports 10BaseT Ethernet Ethernet Telecommunications networking protocol introduced by Xerox Corp. in 1979. It was developed as an inexpensive way of sending information quickly between office machines connected together in a single room or building, but it rapidly became a standard computer networks. Another model, NETPrint/51 (NETS51E/N), is available for 10Base2 Thinnet networks. NETPrint's TCP/IP support is compatible with all network operating systems An operating system that is designed for network use. Normally, it is a complete operating system with file, task and job management; however, with some earlier products, it was a separate component that ran under the OS; for example, LAN Server required OS/2, and LANtastic required DOS. that support the standard TCP/IP Ipd (line printer daemon) for printing including UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). , Windows NT 3.5, LAN Server (1) A network operating system from IBM that runs as a server application under OS/2 and supports DOS, Windows and OS/2 clients. Originally based on LAN Manager when OS/2 was jointly developed by IBM and Microsoft, starting with LAN Server 3. 4.0 and Windows for Workgroups A version of Windows 3.1 introduced in 1992 that added peer-to-peer networking.
