Please be aware that whenconnecting mobile devices to print using AirPrint, the mobile devicesmust be connected using a WiFi connection to the Sharp MFP and not thecustomer’s network.  This means that in large offices, if the user is a longdistance from the MFP, the signal strength may be weak, and could poseissues.  The Lantronix device is ideal because it doesn’t suffer from thesame limitations since it is connected directly to the network. iOS devices (Apple) can print without requiring additional software (apps).  Android devices can print with with the free Sharpdesk Mobile app but must place items to print inside of Sharpdesk first.  

1. Enable WiFi (wired & wireless)
2. Perform firmware update
3. Enable AirPrint - Network Settings > Print Port Settings
