Settings and Printing
Selecting the Printing Method
There are two methods of network printing.
• Printing directly from a computer
• Printing through the shared computer (server)
You may need to consult with your network administrator which to select.
■ Printing directly from a computer
The print data from a computer is transferred directly to the printer. This method is recommended for a
small network and has the advantage of faster printing with less network traffic.
■ Printing through the shared computer (server)
The print data is transferred to the print server (the shared computer), then it is transferred from the
print server to the printer. This method is recommended for larger network because it lets the print
server manage the flow of print data.
