The optional USB device server is an interface board that adds an Ethernet port to the machine.
With this option installed, two Ethernet cables can be connected at the same time using the standard port on the machine and an additional port on the USB device server. You can assign different IP addresses to each port, so the machine can print jobs from different network segments.

The removed cover will not be reused.
