Welcome
Thank you for purchasing this 1-port USB 2.0 Print Server that allows any networked computer
to share a USB printer. It complies with USB 2.0 specifications (and is backward compatible
with USB 1.1), and provides an auto-sensing Ethernet port that works with either 10Base-T or
100Base-T networks. This unit also supports multiple protocols and multiple operating systems,
and it integrates Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) to allow users to print from anywhere using
the internet. The built-in web management feature provides more convenience by allowing the
user to configure, monitor and even reset the print server via a web browser. This eliminates the
need to place the printer right next to the computer. Print jobs can be sent to a printer in another
country just as easily as to a printer in the same office.Why bother sending a degraded fax image
while you can print an original at the destination?
We hope that you will enjoy using your Print Server and find it to be a useful solution.
