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.
