About the Print Server Feature
This page explains the print server feature.
The print server feature uses network printing protocols to allow
you to print over the network.
DS-520AN supports the common network printing protocols, "Raw" and
"LPR".
When a printer is connected to DS-520AN, standard Windows printing can
be used.
Please note that you do not have to use SX Virtual Link for printing
via the print server feature.

- When standard Windows printing is used, it is impossible
to get printer status using the status monitor software that came with
the printer or MFP.
Also, if the printer supports bi-directional printing only, standard
Windows printing cannot be used.
- When using standard Windows printing, only 1 printer can
be used at a time. To connect 2 or more printers, SX Virtual Link must
be used.
For how to connect 2 or more printers, refer to How can I use two or more USB devices?.
- It is impossible to print to printers or MFPs connected to
other computers via SX Virtual Link.
Also, when printers or MFPs are busy with standard Windows printing,
they cannot be connected via SX Virtual Link.
