San Francisco, Calif. – January 25, 2012 – Lantronix, Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRX), a leading global provider of smart M2M connectivity solutions, today announced the worldwide availability of its new xPrintServer™, the first plug-and-print hardware solution for printing from iPads®, iPhones®, and virtually any Apple iOS® device.  In support of the launch, the company is providing a live xPrintServer demonstration for members of the press and conference exhibitors this week at Macworld | iWorld 2012.

“Lantronix has developed an impressive solution for iOS printing,” said Shaun Alger, CEO for MyOffice, a San Diego-based, nationwide provider of office equipment and services.  “Our team is outfitted with iPads and iPhones, and we’ve been using the xPrintServer in a live corporate environment for the past month.  Whether it was on printer brands such as HP, Sharp, or Dell, the user experience has been outstanding.  This is truly a plug-and-print solution.”

“xPrintServer should prove to be an ideal low cost, high performance iOS printing solution for enterprises,” said Tarek Hafiz, President for CBE Office Solutions, one of Southern California’s largest office equipment and solutions providers.   “Not only should xPrintServer prove to be a significant differentiator for our company as we market into enterprises throughout the region, but will be an outstanding value-add for our customers, who have been clamoring for an iOS printing solution for business environments.”

The xPrintServer: Open it. Plug it in. Print!
The Lantronix xPrintServer-Network Edition is the first Apple iOS print server compatible with the iPad2, iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, and virtually any device running Apple’s iOS mobile operating system.  The xPrintServer, roughly the size of an iPhone, is an easy-to-use hardware solution that utilizes the iOS native print menu and requires no additional applications, software downloads, or printer driver installations. With automatic printer discovery and no configuration, printing is easy and hassle-free. Simply open the box, plug the xPrintServer anywhere into the network, and print wirelessly from any iOS device running iOS version 4.2 or later, to virtually any network-connected printer.

“We are pleased to announce xPrintServer is now available and shipping, in select regions worldwide,” said Kurt Busch, Lantronix President and CEO.  “xPrintServer is the first new product line conceived, designed, and marketed under the new management team.  The launch and promotion of xPrintServer directly reflects the significant progress we’ve made, in just five months, in establishing a strategy that drives innovation and leverages Lantronix strong technology platforms with an efficient, disciplined, and aggressive go-to-market process.”
