Printers

If your USB device is a printer or MFP (multifunction printer) and 

you wish to use its print function, enable the 

Print Function Only 

button and select the printer from the drop-down menu.

Note:

1. If the USB peripheral device is a printer, you do not 

need a separate print server.

2. If you cannot find your printer in the drop-down menu, 

the printer may need to be reinstalled. See 

Troubleshooting

, page 19 for further details.

3. If your printer is a multifunction printer and you want to 

use its scan function, you must also enable the 

Other 

Devices/Applications

 button if these functions have 

dedicated applications. See 

Multifunction Printers

page 17 for further details.

Other Devices

To add another device (such as a scanner) and associate its 

application with the Auto Switch function, enable the 

Other 

Devices/Applications

 button and click 

Add

. In the dialog box that 

appears, click 

Browse

 to search for the application program.* (In 

Microsoft Windows only, you can also key in the device name for 

easy reference).

Note:

Be sure to search for the full application path. A desktop 

shortcut, for example, does not work.

Once a device and application has been associated with the Auto 

Switch function, the US221

A

 / US421

A

 automatically takes 

control of the attached USB 2.0 peripheral when the application 

is opened. Control is released when the application is closed.
