  • Page 72: Chapter 9 The Netusb Technology

    The NetUSB Technology 9.1 Introduction The goal of Mini-MFP USB MFP server is to provide the print/scan/file server in a single product. For printers and scanners, there is no industrial standard. In order to support many different models of printers and scanners from various vendors, you must put so many printer/scanner drivers into a single product.
  • Page 73 NetUSB allows you to use USB printers or USB MFPs as if they were connected directly to your PC although they are actually connected to Mini-MFP. The link operation is a software operation that simulates an actual USB device plug-in. That is to say, when you do a link operation in the Control Center, PC can then detect a USB device's plug- in, although actually you do not plug in any USB device.

  • Page 74: How To Use

    Here we will describe how to use the NetUSB technology to do remote installation for a USB device. Before using the NetUSB technology, you must first make sure that your PC can access Mini-MFP via TCP/IP. The simplest way to do this is using Control Center to search for all of Mini-MFPs on the network and change its IP address to be the same subnet as your PC.
