Print High-Quality Photos from a Nonshared Printer
You can print high-quality photos from a non-shared printer. The following scenario is for a
family that does not have a print server:
•
A family member has photos on a Macintosh computer and wants to print them.
•
The photo-capable color printer is directly attached to a Windows computer, but not
shared on the network.
•
The Mac and the Windows computer are not visible to each other on the network.
To print high-quality photos from a nonshared printer using a Mac:
Access the USB device by typing
\\readyshare
in the address field of a web browser.
Then copy the photos to the USB device.
You can also set up a network printer. For more information, see
Set Up a Network
Printer

To print high-quality photos from a non-shared printer using a Window computer:
On a Window computer, use a web browser or Microsoft Networking to copy the files from
the USB device to the computer. Then print the files.
You can also set up a network printer. For more information, see

Send Large Files over the Internet
Sending files that are larger than 5 MB can pose a problem for many email systems. The
router allows you to share large files such as PowerPoint presentations or
.zip
files over the
Internet. You can use FTP to download shared files from the router.
Sharing files with a remote colleague involves the following considerations:
•
The two user accounts are admin and guest. The password for admin is the same one
that you use to access the router. By default, it is password. The guest user account has
no password.
•
On the FTP site, the person receiving the files uses the guest user account and enters the
password. FTP requires that you type something in the password field.
•
Be sure to select the
FTP (via Internet)
check box in the USB Storage (Advanced
Settings) screen. This option supports both downloading and uploading of files.
Note:
You can select the
HTTP (via Internet)
check box on the USB
Storage (Advanced Settings) screen to share large files. This option
supports downloading files only.
