Applications
Print servers of this type were used in legacy office and industrial environments to consolidate print traffic in multi-user networks. The ESI-2289A supports parallel and serial printer connections common in systems from the 1980s–1990s. Typical installations included DOS/Windows workgroups, minicomputers, and CAD/CAM systems requiring shared printer access across multiple terminals or networked devices.
This Extended Systems ESI-2289A ShareSpool XL 8-port print server has been inspected and appears to be in good cosmetic condition. The power supply is not included with this unit, so we were not able to power or test it at our facility — it is being sold as-is without a functionality guarantee. The chassis shows light surface wear consistent with normal use. All rear ports, DIP switches, and connectors appear intact and undamaged. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
