Note: The StarView switch is applicable for USB keyboard and mouse switching from one computer to the other. If you plan to share other peripherals such as a CCD camera, printer or scanner, it is necessary to shut down the driver of the computer before switching to another computer. Because port switching is equivalent to unplugging the USB cable from one computer and plugging it into another one, some USB drivers check attached USB peripherals all the time and do not accept plug-n-play functions.
