INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your Wireless USB Print Server, the
easiest and fastest way to deploy printers on your network.
This compact print server can connect your network through an
Access Point under the infrastructure mode, or can be used in ad-hoc
mode for direct communication between PC/Notebook and print
server anywhere you wish to locate wireless printer services. It
manages the flow of print files from your workstation or file server to
its connected printers, delivering print jobs to high-performance
printers much faster than a file server or a PC acting as a print server
can.
The Wireless USB Print Server features a Web-based Configuration
Utility, which allows you to set up the print server through the web
browser easily and quickly. It also includes a powerful software
utility PS-Utility, a user-friendly program that allows you to complete
further settings for the print server.
