Lantronix Launches New xPrintServer - Office Edition, Delivering iPad and iPhone Printing Solution for Business Users
IRVINE, CA, Nov 12, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Lantronix (NASDAQ: LTRX), a leading global provider of smart M2M
connectivity solutions, today announced the launch of its
xPrintServer(TM) - Office Edition, the newest member of its
award-winning xPrintServer family, designed specifically for office
use by business and IT professionals wishing to print from their
iPad(R), iPhone(R) or iPod(R) Touch to virtually any printer. The new
product is available for pre-order now at www.Lantronix.com, and will
begin shipping November 21, 2012.
Developed to provide an easy mobile printing solution for business
users of Apple iOS products such as an iPad or iPhone, the
xPrintServer - Office Edition enables printing directly from the
native print menu of the device to virtually any existing
network-connected or USB printer without any apps to download,
software to install, or the use of a computer. Building on the
original xPrintServer - Network Edition, the Office Edition offers
significantly new security and enterprise management features,
including remote authentication / Active Directory, proxy server
support, as well as the ability to network-enable USB printers.
"Since the introduction of the first xPrintServer product last
December, I have observed a ready market for this type of printing
solution, as an increasing number of business people are relying on
their tablets and smart phones for work purposes," said J. Gerry
Purdy, Ph.D., principal analyst, MobileTrax LLC. "The new Office
Edition of the xPrintServer boasts the same simplicity as its
predecessor, while providing more robust enterprise features for IT
managers, including Active Directory support and more control over
user permissions and printing functionality as it relates to iOS
devices. Additionally, it will enable USB printers to become network
printers, so the users can print from their iOS devices right over
the network. The xPrintServer - Office Edition is truly a timely
product that addresses the growing adoption of mobile devices in
businesses."
The soon-to-be released Office Edition comes with a wide range of
robust features to support mobile printing throughout the enterprise.
Designed in close collaboration with enterprise customers, the new
Office Edition addresses the challenges faced by IT departments on
how to identify, deploy and manage iOS device printing throughout the
extended organization. Key features include:
-- Support for both USB and network-connected printers (wired or
wireless)
-- Enhanced printer-user management, including printer usage rights,
security and control over printers and user groups
-- Proxy Server Support, global save and restore functionality, and the
ability to export print logs
-- Remote authentication / Active Directory support
-- Firmware / driver loading via USB port
-- Supports over 4,000 top brand printers, and an unlimited number of
iPads, iPhones, and iOS users and devices
-- Roughly the size of an iPhone with no additional software, CDs or
application downloads required
-- Automatic printer discovery and provisioning
-- Easy to use and no configuration. Simply open the box, plug it in,
print
-- Anything that can be viewed, opened or read on an iOS device can be
printed with the xPrintServer
"The reception of the xPrintServer in business environments has been
overwhelmingly positive and has become a strong solution franchise
for Lantronix. The launch of this next-generation version represents
Lantronix's commitment to providing innovative, feature-rich,
easy-to-deploy solutions that enable our customers to be more
productive. We are thrilled to offer features that we believe will
greatly expand the usability of the Lantronix xPrintServer in
enterprise environments," said Kurt Busch, president and CEO of
Lantronix. "Apple has made tremendous in-roads for driving the
adoption of iPads and most iOS devices into the workplace, and the
xPrintServer - Office Edition provides IT managers with a secure,
cost effective enterprise-level mobile printing solution that fills a
key gap in making tablets true laptop replacements."
The xPrintServer: Open it. Plug it in. Print!
The xPrintServer
Family is an easy-to-use hardware solution that utilizes the iOS
native print menu and requires no additional applications, software
downloads, or printer driver installations. With automatic printer
discovery and no configuration, printing is hassle-free. Simply open
the box, plug in power and Ethernet, and print -- from any iOS device
running iOS version 4.2 or later, to virtually any USB or
network-connected printer, whether wired or wireless.
