•The Mac and PC are not visible to each other on the network.
To print photos from a Mac on the printer attached to a PC:
1. On the Mac, access the USB drive by typing \\readyshare in the address field of a web browser. Then copy the photos to the USB drive.
2. On the PC, use a web browser or Microsoft Networking to copy the files from the USB drive to the PC. Then print the files.
Share 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. FTP can be used to easily download shared files from the router.
Sharing files with a remote colleague involves the following considerations:
•There are three kinds of accounts: admin, guest, and user accounts. 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. You specify the passwords for user accounts in the User Setup screen (User Setup on page 53).
•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.
You can enable the HTTP (via Internet) option on the USB Storage (Advanced Settings) screen to share large files. This option supports downloading files only.
