USB Flash Drive Support:

There is another way in which files can be
submitted directly to the IBM Infoprint 1532
Express without the need for a printer
driver, or indeed without the need of a
desktop PC.
We were very pleased to see that, after
years of asking, a manufacturer has finally
included a USB flash drive reader on the
device console. For years manufacturers
have been boasting about their ability to
handle raw PDF data. However, it is only
now that a user is finally able to walk up to
a device with a USB flash drive (an IT
gadget that has moved away from being a
geek must-have to being a standard piece
of equipment for the IT literate) and print a
PDF directly from the device.
This function has a great number of
potential real-world benefits. The most
obvious being in the service print industry,
namely business centers in hotels, airports,
conference centers, internet cafes and high
street print for pay businesses. In these
instances traveling business people will
frequently have laptops and USB pocket
flash drives. If they receive a contract or
order form via email and need to get the
file printed they have only to transfer the
file to the USB card, pack away the laptop
and walk down to the hotel business center
or airport lounge and print the file.
To use this novel feature we simply had to
insert the USB flash drive into the socket
on the front console panel. We were then
able to browse through the folder tree of
the drive until we reached the PDF file we
wanted to print.

At this point users can only select the
number of sets they require. We would
have liked to have the ability to choose
features such as duplex or finishing options
(if available) allowing for even greater
document flexibility.
