Belkin P72655 Using the Bitronics Software, Example Two Printers Shared Between Two Computers

Using the Bitronics Software

Example: Two Printers Shared Between Two Computers

The Bitronics Software automatically handles printing chores by directing your print jobs to the correct port on the switch based on the settings you set in the Printer Properties and the Settings in step 7 previously. When you print something in Windows , you simply select the printer you wish to print to, and the Bitronics software handles the switching duties. ITS FULLY AUTOMATIC!

How does it work? The Bitronics software tells the Bitronics switch to switch to the port the selected printer is connected to. In the example below, the Bitronics software tells the Bitronics switch to switch to Port B first, then it allows the print job to go through the switch, out to Port B, and to the Epson printer.

Then if you wish to print to the second printer, let’s say a LaserJet for example, all you have to do is select that particular printer in the PRINT dialog box. Click OK, and the print job is automatically sent to the LaserJet printer on Port A of the Bitronics switch.

Example: Sharing One Printer and a Zip drive (or any other mass storage device)
