Question
How many USB devices can I connect to my 4-Port Print Server?
:
Answer
You can connect up to 8 USB devices to one 4-Port Print Server.
While the 4-Port Print Server only has 4 USB ports, we support 8 devices due to how Compound
USB devices work. Compound USB devices are devices that have multiple components connected
to an embedded USB hub inside 1 USB printer. For example, the Lexmark X1150 is a compound
device that has 2 components (one for the scanner, one for the printer). The Canon i475D is also a
compound device that has 3 components (the printer, the card reader, and a HID device [for buttons
on the printer]).
Note:
You can view up to 8 4-Port Print Servers in the Keyspan Server Utility.
If you are using all of the USB ports on your 8 servers, you will be able view a total of 32
USB devices in the Keyspan Keyspan Server Utility software however you will only be able
to have 12 USB devices 'connected' to your computer.
If you need to use a 13th USB printer, 'disconnect' one of your 12 USB printer via the
Keyspan Keyspan Server Utility software to free a location for the next USB printer.
