Auto Mode:
The switch automatically scans all input ports for print jobs. Flashing LEDs indicate that the switch is in the Auto mode. When a print job is detected, the switch locks on the active input port and blocks all other print jobs. After printing is completed, the switch releases the port and starts to scan all ports for another print job.
