Irvine, CA – July 17, 2007 – Small and home offices (SOHOs) can now
share Multi-Function Printers (MFPs) and additional USB 2.0 storage
devices, such as external hard drives, flash drives and memory card
readers, with IOGEAR’s 2-Port USB 2.0 Multi-Function Print / Storage
Server (GMFPSU22W6).
Once plugged into the network via an Ethernet connection, the
palm-sized device allows users from any networked computer to share
an MFP to print, scan and fax, eliminating the need for additional
printers. The product also features USB 2.0 Hub extension, enabling
up to five USB devices to be accessed over an IP network. Now,
employees can store and retrieve files by connecting an external hard
drive to the Server, improving collaboration in the workplace.
“With the 2-Port USB 2.0 Multi-Function Print / Storage Server, we
are aiming to simplify the necessary tasks of printing and storage in
the SOHO environment,” said Miranda Su, vice president of sales and
marketing at IOGEAR. “With the ability to share MFPs and USB 2.0
devices, organizations can save money and space, two valuable office
resources.”
IOGEAR’s new Print / Storage Server is able to display a printer’s
status and ink level through an intuitive, Web-based console,
allowing users to configure, monitor and reset the printer on site,
as well as remotely. It also automatically identifies a printer’s
make and model upon connection. A complete printer compatibility list

The product supports USB 2.0 specifications and is backward
compatible with USB 1.1. It is priced at $169.95 MSRP and available
immediately from all major catalogue and online resellers, as well as
selected retail outlets. The Print / Storage Server supports
SMB/CIFS, LPR/LPD, IPP, Raw TCP/JetDirect, HTTP, FTP, DHCP, SMTP and
UPnP protocols, as well as SMB/CIFS and FTP file servers. The
solution also comes with IOGEAR’s standard three-year warranty.
