Using the Machine as a Shared Printer on a
Network
If the computer to which the machine is connected is on a network, the
machine can be used as a shared printer by other computers on the network.
To use the machine as a shared printer on a network, you must:
1
. Configure settings on the computer (the print server pc) that is directly
connected to the machine.
2
. Install the printer driver using Add Printer on all other computers (the
clients) that will use the machine as a printer.
♦
If you have not yet installed the software on the print server pc and
connected the machine to the print server pc with a USB cable, do so as
explained in the previous section (beginning on page 28) before completing
the procedures in this section.
Note:
The clients (the computers that are not connected directly to the
machine) must be running the same version of Windows or a version that is
older than the print server pc.
