The company also announced the availability of a new xPrintServer diagnostics app on Apple’s iTunes® App Store. The xPrintServer family from Lantronix is the first line of Apple iOS print server appliances compatible with the iPad2, iPad®, iPhone, iPod® touch, and virtually any device running Apple’s iOS mobile operating system.

The xPrintServer Diagnostics App

The Lantronix xPrintServer app is the perfect diagnostics and troubleshooting companion for the xPrintServer. This free app is ideal for IT professionals to monitor performance of all xPrintServers from a single, simple user interface.   The app expands upon the xPrintServer’s current built-in diagnostics, enabling users to locate and manage all of their xPrintServers, as well as provide a quick and easy view of the configuration of all accessible xPrintServers. Additionally, users can test network speed, view a list of printers, monitor print jobs, view log files, and submit diagnostic reports either to Lantronix directly or via email to other users.

“We believe the inclusion of our diagnostics app in the iTunes App Store, along with the success of the iPhone 5, will only improve the awareness and adoption of the xPrintServer,” said Mark D. Tullio, vice president of worldwide marketing for Lantronix. “We look forward to continuing to work with Apple in both marketing and development efforts.”
