About Sharing the Printer on a Network
Locally-shared Printer
You can connect the multi-function printer directly to a selected computer, which is called the "host
computer" on the network. The multi-function printer can then be shared by other users on the network
through a Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP, Server 2003, or NT 4.0 network printer connection.
Wired Network-connected Printer
Your multi-function printer has a built-in network interface. For details, see page 31.
Printing Across a Network
Whether the multi-function printer is locally connected or network-connected, you need to install the Dell
Laser MFP 1600n software on each computer that prints documents using the multi-function printer.
