Planex Mini-MFP USB MFP Server Control Center 1.1

Planex Mini-MFP USB MFP Server Control Center

This is a companion utility for Planex Mini-MFP USB MFP server devices. It helps you share a USB-based multi-function printer (MFP) over your local network, so multiple PCs can print, and—when supported—take turns using scanning or fax functions.

Key capabilities:

• Automatically discovers compatible Planex Mini-MFP servers on your network
• Provides one-click connect/disconnect to “attach” a USB device to your PC over the network (virtual USB over IP)
• Manages access so only one user controls scanner/fax functions at a time (where applicable)
• Shows basic device status and connection information; may surface driver-reported alerts when supported
• Offers quick access from the system tray for attaching/detaching and switching users
• Includes basic network/server settings where the hardware supports them

Typical use cases:

• Sharing a USB-only MFP among several Windows PCs in a home or small office
• Allowing users to print from multiple computers while coordinating exclusive functions like scanning

Notes:

• You’ll need to install the manufacturer’s driver for your specific printer/MFP on each PC.
• Scanning and fax features are typically exclusive to one user at a time, while printing can be shared.
• Feature availability can vary by MFP model and firmware.
