IOGEAR 2 Port USB 2.0 Switch - Auto Printer Switch - Manually or Auto Control - LEDs Indicate - Plug n Play
IOGEAR's USB 2.0 Automatic Printer Switch facilitates the sharing of one printer or multi-function printer between two PCs or Macs. By connecting your workstations to the device via USB 2.0 ports, you can streamline your workflow without the hassle of physically switching cables between computers.
The switch operates both automatically and manually to accommodate different preferences and needs. With the automatic switching software installed, the printer switch seamlessly transitions to the computer that initiates a print job. This feature enhances user convenience by eliminating the need for manual intervention in device switching. Alternatively, manual switching is possible through the use of a dedicated switch-button on the device itself.
Beyond printer sharing, the switch supports the sharing of various USB peripheral devices such as scanners and external hard drives. Users can effortlessly toggle between connected devices using the push-button located on the device, enabling efficient multi-purpose use in diverse computing environments.
The device boasts USB 2.0 compatibility, offering a high-speed data transfer rate of up to 480Mbps. It is also backward compatible with USB 1.1, ensuring broad compatibility with older peripherals and systems. This capability ensures reliable performance across different generations of USB technology.
An important feature of the switch is its ability to operate without an external power supply, simplifying setup and reducing cable clutter. This makes it a practical choice for environments where space and power outlets are limited.
For enhanced security and data access consistency, the switch includes a switch-lock function. This feature prevents unauthorized users from switching connected USB devices, safeguarding data integrity and ensuring uninterrupted access to shared resources.
In summary, IOGEAR's USB 2.0 Automatic Printer Switch offers a user-friendly solution for sharing USB printers and other peripherals between multiple computers. Whether you prefer automatic switching facilitated by software or manual switching via a physical button, this device enhances productivity and convenience in office or home office setups. Its robust design, compatibility with various USB devices, and plug-and-play simplicity make it a valuable addition to any workspace seeking efficient peripheral sharing solutions.
