If a corrupt print job is sent to a printer, printing may suddenly fail. If your print jobs
seem to be locked up, pressing the
Remove All Documents
button to clear the
print queue may resolve the issue.
You can configure the N0204 miniNAS to act as a printer server. That way, all PCs
connected to the network can utilize the same printer.

usually only the printing and fax functions will work. Other features, such as
scanning, will probably not function.
