General Information
General Information
Purpose
The ISD300 was developed as an appliance to spool and manage
print jobs and to handle print queues.
In complex networks with high volumes of data traffic and in
large-scale structures, the ISD300 can substantially relieve server
load and remove strain from the network. This results in better
performance and enhanced system stability.
The ISD300 adds server qualities to the printing in peer-to-peer
networks. Enhanced transparency, higher performance and the
central management of all print processes result in maximum
efficiency and very little time required for maintenance and system
updates.
The ISD300 is able to accept print jobs from various operating
systems and to forward them to the printer via Socket, LPD, or IPP.

Microsoft Authentication (SMB)
Microsoft Authentication (SMB)
MS Windows client access to installed queues can be restricted by
using the SMB protocol. This method uses users and groups with
associated passwords. The list of users and groups can be
managed locally or taken from a Windows Domain Controller or
Active Directory Server.
MS domain security is a characteristic that allows administrators to
authorize or restrict print administration and services to define
users and groups by using their existing user name and password
of the domain.
A domain is a collection of network servers and other computers
that share a security and user account for each user. A user logs on
to the domain and not to individual servers in the domain.
Microsoft Authentication settings can be managed by
administrators only.

Description
LPD
The LPD queue sends print jobs to a network printer that
prints via the LPD protocol. When creating the queue, the
printer’s IP address or host name and the remote queue
name as remote device have to be specified.
IPP
The IPP queue sends print jobs to a network printer that
prints via IPP (Internet Printing Protocol). When creating
the queue, the device URI of the printer’s network card
has to be specified. (Example for SEH print servers:
ipp://host name/ipp/lp1)
USB printer The USB printer queue sends print jobs to a printer that is
connected to one of the USB ports of the ISD300. When
creating the queue, you must specify the USB port to
which the printer is connected.
Search

Printer
Search network printer searches via SNMP for network
printers. When creating the queue, you must specify the
IP address range to be searched through.
The ISD300 searches through this address range and
displays all detected network printers. By choosing one of
the detected network printers, the network printer will be
connected to the queue.
Depending on the network card of the printer, the printing
method (TCP/IP sockets, LPD, or IPP) will be selected
automatically. The creation of a queue via Search
Network Printer is identical to the creation of a queue
during the Quick Setup.

Queue Type
Description
Balance
queue
A balance queue can be used to print the print job on the
next available printer. A balance queue contains
subordinate queues as members which are, on their part,
also assigned to the printers. When creating the queue,
you must specify which queues are to be assigned as
member.
A prerequisite for using balance queues is that the
connected printers are identical in construction or at least
similar.It is possible to use a balance queue with printers
of different manufacturers if these printers can be
addressed via a common printer driver, such as the HP
LaserJet5.
The common printer driver is assigned to the queue and
all printers will then use the settings of the common
printer driver.
Copy queue A copy queue can be used to print the print job on several
printers. Subordinate queues are assigned to the copy
queue as member. When a print job is sent to the copy
queue, the print job is forwarded to all member queues.
When creating the queue, you must specify which
using copy queues is that the connected printers are
identical in construction or at least similar.
It is possible to use a copy queue with printers of different
manufacturers if these printers can be addressed via a
common printer driver, such as the HP LaserJet5. The
common printer driver is assigned to the queue and all
printers will then use the settings of the common printer
driver. For further information; see: How to print one Job
on several Printers? (Copy Queue) on page 39.

How to set DNS Server?
DNS (Domain Name System) is a service translating names into IP
addresses. DNS is very helpful in particular since names are
retained a lot easier than multiple digits numbers (i.e. Titan instead
of 192.168.0.231). In addition, DNS allows for more flexibility since
names may be assigned independent of IP addresses, therefore,
enabling names to be changed or assigned to a different IP
address at any time.
The task of the DNS server as Slave (Primary) is the sharing of
load. In this way a faster allocation is reached within DNS structure.

Certificates
The communication via the Web interface may be encrypted using

can be used in TCP/IP-based networks to encrypt data and to
authenticate communication partners.
- Self-signed certificates have a digital signature that has been
created by the ISD300.
- CA certificates are certificates that have been signed by a
certification authority (CA). The authenticity of the CA
certificate can be verified by means of a so-called root
