Network USB
Network USB allows a computer on the wired or wireless LAN to connect to a USB device connected to the AirStation
as though it were directly connected to the computer. Printers connected in this way support 2-way communication, so
ink-level notifications and similar functions will work normally. Only one computer can connect to the USB device at a
time.
Note:
Network USB is recommended for printer use. Other USB devices are not supported at this time.
