Auto Connecting Printers

This feature automatically connects and disconnects printers whenever you have a print job queued. This gives you a printing experience that is similar to using a print server.

The Auto Connect feature for printers actually connects just the printer component of a compound device regardless of what the separate compound devices is set to. This cuts down on the amount of connections needed before printing. (See Compound Devices on page 20.)

Auto Connect is only enabled in the Multi-User Connect Mode.

Before You Begin

Before you begin, please make sure that you have installed and connected your printer using the Lantronix UBox's USB Devices tab (see Connecting Your USB Device on page 16).
