3.5 Printer Server
This network drive is equipped with a printer server. Connect your USB printer to the USB host port
on the back of your network drive to share it with other workstations on the same local network.
3.5.1 Installation on a PC
Printing via the shared network printer will be slower than when the printer is connected directly to
the USB port on the computer. After you press the Print button, please wait for the printer to
receive the data.
1. Connect your USB printer to the USB host port on the network drive and turn both units on.
2. We recommend using a fixed IP address for your network drive, in order to prevent having
to modify the printer setup whenever the IP changes.
3. On your PC, go to Start and select Printers and Faxes.
4. Go to File, select Add Printer to bring up the printer setup wizard and click Next to start.
5. Select Local printer attached to this computer, deselect Automatically detect and
install my Plug and Play printer and click Next.
6. Select Create a new port, choose Standard TCP/IP Port from the list and then click Next.
