Why choose it

This print server eliminates the need for a dedicated print server PC, reducing energy costs and simplifying printer sharing. The compact ABS housing and external power adapter make installation straightforward, while the web-based management interface allows configuration from any browser. Password protection prevents unauthorized access to printer settings. With support for common printing protocols, it integrates seamlessly into existing network environments.

Good to know

The device connects to the network via a standard Ethernet cable and to the printer via a USB 2.0 cable (not included). It requires an external DC 5V/1A power adapter, which is supplied. The print server supports one printer at a time and is compatible with most USB 2.0 printers, including multifunction devices for printing functions only. No wireless connectivity is available; this is a wired Ethernet print server.
