The multi-function printer was also tested with wireless scanning and reading data from the built-in card reader.

A Maxtor OneTouch™ Mini III hard
drive was connected to the Wireless
USB device adapter and the following
scenarios were tested:
Wired vs. Wireless throughput
comparison. Moving 1GB of data (a
folder containing video files) from the
PC to the hard drive took 180 seconds
with the adapter set over the Wireless
USB link, vs. 48 seconds with wired
USB.
Link disconnect/connect. Exiting the
room with the laptop forced the
wireless link to disconnect. Then, after
entering the room, the link was automatically re-established and the disk was again available—without any user
involvement.
Automatic backup. The EasyManage™ software provided with the Maxtor disk, together with the OneTouch
backup, enabled entering the room with the laptop, automatically being connected to the hard disk drive, and
receiving a popup message on the need to backup a new file that was added to the PC but was not moved yet to
the hard disk.
In this usage scenario, the wireless connectivity enables a more user friendly backup process, which is initiated
automatically. In addition, backup is performed in small increments, each time new data is added to the PC,
without the need to physically connect to the hard disk each time.
