Planning for a printer network connection
You might want to create a separate network of printers with higher bandwidth connectivity. In this case, you must configure an additional network adapter on each InfoPrint Manager for Windows server system that controls printers on the independent printer network. Use this worksheet to assist in this configuration. For additional information about setting up a separate printer network, see the Administrator Procedure Using Multiple Network Adapter Cards.
