Installing the printer port for network printers

Your Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl is equipped with a USB port that you can use, for exam- ple, to connect a printer for use as the network printer. The Windows XP or Windows 2000 operating system is a prerequisite for connecting a printer.

Introduction

A network printer is a printer on which you can print your documents without it being connected to your PC, for example to LPT1, the parallel interface. The advantage of this is that you only need this printer once in your network. All PCs for which it is released can access it and work with it.

Note:

For multifunction devices (combination of printer, copier or fax) only the printer functionality is supported.

In most cases, a printer of this type is connected to another PC in the network. While this offers the advantage referred to above, it has serious disadvantages:

uThe printer can only be used by others if the PC to which it is connected is switched on.

uThe print job you send to the PC to which the printer is connected reduces the per- formance (resources) of this PC.

If you use the USB port on the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl for your printer, you have all the advantages of a network printer without the disadvantages referred to above:

uThe network, and consequently also the printer, is always ready (the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl and the printer itself must be switched on, of course).

uAs it is connected to the USB printer port on your Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl, it does not detract from the performance of any other PC in the network.

To facilitate this option you must first set up a printer port on each PC that is to use the network printer. A printer port is an interface on the PC that forwards the print job to an IP address within the network.

Once you have set up this port you must install the printer driver.
