Combining printing, fax & card reader functions in just one device enables multifunction printers (MFPs) to be used; all-in-one solutions at the lowest costs. Since most of the MFPs only have one USB (Universal Serial Bus) connection & cannot be networked, the NPS-520 MFP Print Server from Zy XEL can be used to provide the multifunction printer with USB (Universal Serial Bus) & Ethernet interfaces. Connecting the NPS-520 MFP print server makes the multifunction printer accessible to all users in the network without having to use an additional PC to process the print jobs. Setting up the NPS-520 takes less than five minutes. If the " Auto Connect" & " Auto Release" functions are activated, all users in the network can access the multifunction printer without requiring additional cables.
