Axis has the industry's broadest range of high-performance network and wireless print servers that allow printers to be shared efficiently across all kinds of networks, including the Internet and wireless networks using IEEE 802.11b/g technologies. With a print server, you can place your printers where it is most convenient, regardless of where the file server is located because the print server is independent of the file server, and connection to the corporate network can be wireless.
