The BOS e-TwinPrint provides several benefits:

• Web-managed configuration and management. Unlike others that require a PC with configuration and management software to be installed on the same LAN, the e-TwinPrint can be managed remotely over the Web. This permits IT staff to handle problems directly, without having to talk an end user on location through complex diagnostics.

• Dumb Terminal Setup. Initial setup can be performed with a dumb terminal, an advantage when the device is located in a small remote site without a PC.

• IPDS Printing. With the e-TwinPrint, the remote command service is used to create and maintain the IPDS printer device description on the host.

• SCS Printing. The e-TwinPrint implements TN5250e technology to provide support for all SCS printers.

• Upgradeable. The e-TwinPrint can be upgraded via a software key to support 3 or 10 devices Twinax devices (click here for more information on these upgraded capabilities)
