FAQ

What is FIFO mode?
FIFO (First-In, First-Out) automatically manages print job queues, ensuring that the first print request from any computer is processed first, preventing conflicts and lost jobs.

Can both computers print simultaneously?
No, the switch routes jobs one at a time in the order received, but users can queue multiple jobs from each computer without cable reconnection.
