Installing the printer port for network printers

Instructions for setting up a printer on the PC

Once you have installed the printer port you still cannot start printing. The printer port is nothing more than an additional interface on your PC, comparable with the USB port. It means that any printer you install on this port is also regarded as a local printer even though it is located in the network and possibly not directly near you.

You still need to connect the printer to this port and configure it.

ìConnect the printer to the USB port on your Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl. The printer is installed in the same way as any other printer:

ìGo through Start Settings Printers and click Add Printer.

ìIn the window that opens click Next.

ìProceed as instructed by the Add Printer Wizard. Please note:

In the window in which you are prompted to specify the location of the printer you should select Local printer (usually the default setting).

ìThen click Next.

ìContinue to install the printer. Select your printer and click Next.

ìWhen the window in which you are prompted to enter the type of connection appears, double-click the port name Gigaset_printerport.

ìThen continue to install the printer and finish the installation.

Note:

The print server of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl does not work bidirectionally. It does not evaluate any of the printer's response messages. For this reason, please make sure that your printer is likewise only configured unidirectionally.
