Product Features
Technical Overview
The N8352 leverages IEEE 802.11n Wi-Fi technology to establish wireless network connections, supporting data transmission speeds up to 72 Mbit/s. It operates within the 2.4 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) frequency band, ensuring compatibility with common wireless routers and access points. The print server interfaces with printers via USB, converting print jobs from networked devices into commands the printer can execute.
This device does not require complex software installation or dedicated server hardware, functioning as a bridge between the network and USB-connected printers. The NFC feature allows for quick setup by tapping an NFC-enabled device to the print server, reducing configuration time and minimizing user intervention.

Deployment / Use Cases
This wireless print server is engineered for environments where flexible, shared printing is essential but dedicated network printers are impractical. In retail point-of-sale systems, it allows receipt or label printers to be placed optimally while remaining accessible to multiple terminals over Wi-Fi. Small offices benefit from the ability to share a single USB printer among several workstations without running additional cables.
The N8352 also suits temporary or mobile setups, such as pop-up shops or event stations, where quick printer integration into a local wireless network is required. Its external design facilitates easy relocation, and the NFC feature supports rapid reconfiguration when moving between locations.
Retail POS Printing
Enables wireless connectivity for receipt or label printers at point-of-sale terminals, improving layout flexibility and reducing cable management challenges in checkout areas.
Small Office Shared Printing
Allows multiple employees to print to a common USB printer from their networked devices, supporting collaborative workflows without investing in network-ready printers.
