Congratulations on purchasing your USB Print Server, the easiest and 
fastest way to deploy printers on your network. 

This compact print server can connect your network through an 
Access Point under the infrastructure mode, or can be used in ad-hoc 
mode for direct communication between PC/Notebook and print 
server anywhere you wish to locate USB printer services.    It manages 
the flow of print files from your workstation or file server to its 
connected printers, delivering print jobs to high-performance printers 
much faster than a file server or a PC acting as a print server can. 

The USB Print Server features a Web-based Configuration Utility, 
which allows you to set up the print server through the web browser 
easily and quickly.    It also includes a powerful software utility 

PS-

Utility,

 a user-friendly program that allows you to complete further 

settings for the print server.
