PRESSRELEASE SEH Paves Way to IPv6 for Epson Printers Network Specialist SEH Unveils New Ethernet Printserver for Epson Printers and MFPs Bielefeld, Germany (December 8, 2008). - The German Network Printing Specialist SEH today launches a new Printserver to attach all Epson printers with Type B port to Ethernet / Fast Ethernet networks even more efficiently and securely. PS107 is the first IPv6-enabled internal print server worldwide for these printers. In the course of changing the tried and trusted SEH IC product series to the more powerful PS series PS107 replaces the precursor model IC107-FAST-EPSON-TX. The enhancements of the PS series include, among other things, the latest security standards as well as a faster processing of encrypted print jobs. The PS107 print server is available as of now for 267 Euro (excluding VAT). The imminent shortage of IP addresses due to IPv4 causes the new protocol IPv6 to spread out fast. It will be established as a global standard in the near future and is already mandatory in the USA, Japan, and many European countries when it comes to new investments in network components for the public sector, in research and development, and many industries. The IPv6-enabled model PS107 allows to attach all Epson printers and MFPs with Type B interface to this standard. Secure and Bandwidth-Optimized The new model is equipped with the latest ThinPrint technology for bandwidth optimization and control. With the help of this technology print jobs are compressed to ensure and even boost network performance in environments with server-based computing, desktop virtualization, and all network infrastructures with frequent and voluminous print jobs. Like all print servers of the PS series PS107 supports ThinPrint SSL encryption. As to security PS107 offers TLS/SSL encryption and access control. The device also utilizes the latest authentication methods, such as EAP-TTLS, PEAP, and EAP-FAST, to safely access a network. PS107 is compatible with all common operating systems, among them Windows, Apple Macintosh, Novell NetWare, and Linux. Regular software and firmware updates, comprehensive support, and warranty.
