Federal Communication Commission
Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Warning
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the authority to operate equipment.

Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Radiation Exposure
Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the
FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not
be less than 20cm (8 inches) during normal operation.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Radio Frequency Interference Requirements
This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 2.4 GHz
frequency range. FCC requires this product to be used indoors in 2.4 GHz the
frequency range to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel
Mobile Satellite systems.

RSS-210 Compliance Statement
The term “IC:” before the certification/registration number only signifies that
Industry Canada technical specifications were met. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Transmitter Antenna
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum
gain of 5dBi. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations
of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

1. Introduction
This MFP Server allows your all-in-one printer to become a shared device on
the network. Unlike many MFP Servers, it can communicate with your
all-in-one printer as if it was connected directly to your computer. This allows
all users to share print, scan, card reader and fax (if available) over the
network. You can also monitor important information such as ink levels.
The MFP Server provides IEEE 802.11g/b wireless LAN connectivity (up to
54Mbps data transfer rate), an Ethernet network port (10/100Mbps Ethernet),
and one USB 2.0/1.1 port. The MFP Server can be connected to your
802.11g/b wireless network or wired network.

2. MFP Server Modes
This MFP Server supports two modes: All-in-one MFP Server Mode and MFP
Server Mode. Users can choose one of these modes to share all-in-one or
printer functions through the MFP Server.
All-in-one MFP Server Mode:
The MFP Server can communicate with an all-in-one printer as if it was
connected directly to your computer. This enables users to connect to the
all-in-one for sharing print, scan, card reader, and fax functions (if available).
The supported OS in this mode is Windows 2000 SP4 and above, Windows
XP SP1 and above, Windows Vista 32 and Vista 64 and MAC OS 10.4/10.5.
The all-in-one MFP Server mode doesn’t support Windows 98SE/ME/NT,
Linux/Unix. For the detailed instructions, please refer to the following chapters.
Chapter 3: Using the all-in-one printer
Chapter 4: MFP Manager

3
MFP Server Mode:
The MFP Server also supports LPR, IPP and RAW printing protocols, which
enable users to share the print function from an all-in-one printer. The
supported Operating Systems are Windows 98SE/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista
and MAC. For detailed instructions, please refer to the following chapters.
Chapter 7: LPR Printing
Chapter 8: RAW Printing
Chapter 9: IPP Printing (Not in MAC)

3. Using Your All-in-one in MAC
After you have followed the install wizard to finish the all-in-one printer and
MFP Server installation and manually add your all-in-one into printer list, you
are able to start sharing print, scan, card reader, or fax functions.
To print, scan or read the memory card through MFP Server, please follow the
steps below for using your all-in-one printer.
1. Go to ‘’Application/Utility” and click “MFP Manager”.
2. In the “MFP Manager”, select the all-in-one you would like to use.
3. Click the “Connect” button to connect to the all-in-one printer.
4. You are able to use the all-in-one printer for printing, scanning or reading
the memory card over the MFP Server.

5
Tip: If you have finished using the all-in-one printer, please click “Disconnect”
to release it. Other users can’t use the all-in-one printer until it is released.

6
3.1 Printing
After you manually add the all-in-one printer to “Printers and Faxes” in MAC.
You can select the printer for printing a document through MFP Server by
following the steps below. Be sure to connect the all-in-one you want to use on
the list of MFP manager first.
Tip: If you have sent a print job to it while the all-in-one printer is connecting to
another user, you may be prompted that the device is not found or the
document failed to print. Please resend the print job after the all-in-one printer
is idle or not connected.

7
3.2 Scanning
The all-in-one printer provides a scan utility for users. You can scan pictures or
documents through the utility. In MAC, you can also scan from the MAC
scanning utility or use third party scanning utilities such as Photoshop,
Photoimpact, Paint Shop Pro, etc. Be sure to connect the all-in-one you want
to use on the list of MFP manager first.
An example: EPSON CX-8400/9400 Series Utilities

3.3 Reading Memory Cards
You can read the files from a memory card through the MFP Server. Be sure to
connect the all-in-one you want to use on the list of MFP manager first.
