Introduction - Edimax MFP Server Series User Manual

1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing and using our 802.11g Wireless LAN MFP server.
This MFP server allows your Multi-function, all-in-one printer (called for short:
MFP) or printer to become a shared device on the network. Unlike many print
servers, it can communicate with MFP and printer as if it is connected directly
to your computer. Because of the features, all users can share print, scan and
card reader functions through the network. Furthermore, the MFP Server can
build the bi-directional communication with MFPs and Printers so that it can
help to monitor important information such as ink levels and paper levels.
The MFP server supports print, scan and card reader sharing functions in the
most popular operating systems: Windows 2000 SP4 above and XP SP1
above. It also supports Windows XP scanning utility and MFP vendors'
scanning utilities. When you want to scan in the Windows XP, you can choose
one of the utilities.
Not only be a MFP Server, this MFP Server can also be a traditional print
server. It supports TCP/IP network protocol and LPR and IPP printing
protocols. It can share print function in the various common network operating
systems including Windows 98SE/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003, Unix, Linux and
MAC OS 9.x above.
This MFP Server provides IEEE 802.11g/b wireless LAN (up to 54Mbps data
transfer rate), an Ethernet network port (10/100Mbps Ethernet) and one USB
2.0/1.1 port for MFP or printer. The MFP Server can be connected to your
802.11g/b wireless network or wired network. It is very convenient and flexible
to build up the MFP Server to your network environment.
The MFP server is the best solution for users to share MFP or printer
conveniently and easily. It offers the most flexibility and manageability for MFP
or printer on your Local Area Network at an extremely low cost and with an
