Using AirPort Express

How to Set It Up

To use the printer from a computer using Mac OS X:

1

Open Printer Setup Utility (located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder).

2

Select the printer from the list.

If the printer is not in the list, click Add, choose Bonjour from the pop-up menu, and

then select the printer from the list.

To use the printer from a Windows computer:

1

Install Bonjour for Windows from the CD that came with your AirPort Express.

2

Follow the onscreen instructions to connect your printer.

Extending the Range of an Existing AirPort Extreme or AirPort
Express Network

You can connect an additional AirPort Express to extend the range of your existing

AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express network. Adding a base station or AirPort Express to

an existing network creates what is known as a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).

If the AirPort network is connected to the Internet, computers can connect to the

AirPort network and share the Internet connection.
