IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - Dec 6, 2012) - First launched one year ago, the Lantronix xPrintServer™ device has become increasingly popular within the Apple community by providing hassle-free, wireless printing from iPad®, iPhone®, and iPod touch® mobile devices. Developed by [ Lantronix ] (NASDAQ: [ LTRX ]), a leading global provider of smart M2M connectivity solutions, the Lantronix xPrintServer is offered in two editions, the [ xPrintServer - Office Edition ] and the [ xPrintServer - Home Edition ]. The Office Edition is designed for office use by business and IT professionals, while the Home Edition is intended for the consumer. Between now and the end of the year, a special 20 percent discount is being offered for both editions at [ www.xPrintServer.com ].

"For holiday shoppers looking to add a little joy to the iPhone or iPad aficionado in their lives, the xPrintServer is a great addition," said Mark D. Tullio, Vice President of Worldwide Marketing for Lantronix. "Whether it's students who need to print their homework, business professionals who need to print documents and presentations, or home users who would like to print items such as tickets, receipts, photos or recipes -- anything that can be viewed, opened or read on an iOS device can be printed with the xPrintServer."

Mobile Trends
With the proliferation of mobile devices like the iPad and iPhone, for use both at home and in the workplace (bring your own device, also known as BYOD), there is an increased need to easily print from these mobile devices. In fact, the inability to quickly print from iPads has been a source of frustration since the launch of the first iPad. The xPrintServer is an ideal solution, as it requires no apps to download, no software to install, and no need to buy a new printer.

The xPrintServer has garnered many accolades from independent sources, including [ Best in Show - Macworld 2012 ] and [ Engadget 2011 Peripheral of the Year ].
