Setting the sharing function

Set the sharing function to make file and/or printer sharing with other network-connected personal computers valid. This operation is not required unless the sharing function is to be used.

The folder and printer for which the sharing function has been set will be usable from any personal computer present on the network.

To share a file and/or the connected printer, you need to be logged in as an administrator.
