1. 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 Windows 7, 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/2003/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.
