Ethernet network examples

To see some examples of Ethernet networks, see the

Ethernet network examples

page.

Printing

Computers on the network send print jobs directly to the printer, which prints them

in the order received.
The printer can accept print jobs sent simultaneously from four users.
For example, if five users each send a print job to the printer at the same time, the

printer accepts four of the print jobs and rejects the fifth. The user who sent the fifth

print job should wait a few minutes and then resend the print job.
