Auto-Connect Printer
When a USB printer is connected and selected in the main window, clicking this option
allows you to enable/disable the auto connect feature to a selected printer in the Auto-
Connect printer list. When your computer attempts to print, the Auto-Connect feature
will automatically connect your computer to the set Auto-Connect printer assigned in
the utility. Once the print job from your computer is completed, it will automatically
disconnect to make the printer available to other computers on your network.
Note: It is recommended to enable this feature on all computers that will need to
connect to the USB printer. Enabling the Auto-Connect Printer feature will avoid the
complexity of having to manually connect and disconnect from the printer for each
computer when multiple computers are sending print jobs to the USB printer.
1. Click Auto-Connect Printer.
2. Select the assigned printer to use as the auto connect printer by checking the box.
3. When you are finished, click Apply.
Connect to a Scanner

drivers are not installed, please refer to your printer manufacturer website or
documentation on where to download and how to install the scanner drivers. Before
installing the scanner drivers, connect your computer to the printer using the USB utility
first. Some scanners may require that the sca nner is directly connected to the computer
in order to complete the driver installation.
1. Select the scanner or multi-function printer with scanning cap ability listed in the
utility.
2. Click Connect to connect your computer to the scanner.
