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 server) 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 server and connected the machine to the server with a USB cable, do so as explained in the previous section (beginning on page 25) 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 server.

Configuring settings on the server

Windows→ XP

1.Click the start button and click Printers and Faxes.

2.Right-click the SHARP AM-400icon and select Sharing.
