1. Product Introduction

Thank you for purchasing and using our 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, card reader and fax 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, card reader and fax sharing functions in the most popular operating systems: Windows 2000 SP4 above, Windows XP

SP1 above and Windows Vista. It also supports Windows XP and Vista scanning utility and MFP vendors’ scanning utilities. When you want to scan in the Windows XP, Vista or Windows7, 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, RAW and IPP printing protocols. It can share print function in the various common network operating systems including Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7, Unix, Linux and MAC OS 9.x above.

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 absolute minimum setup and maintenance required.
