Printer Server - Seagate NAS OS 4 U User Manual

SSH Access
Administrators with advanced networking skills can log in to NAS OS using secure shell (SSH), an encrypted
protocol used for communication between devices. Using a command-line interface, the administrator can
automate data management and backups as well as review the NAS's settings. The administrator also has the
.right to access data stored on the NAS via SSH

Printer server

Printer server is enabled by default. An orange light means that NAS OS does not detect a printer connected to
one of the NAS's USB ports. The light will turn green once a compatible printer is found. Follow the directions
:below to share a printer on the network via the NAS OS device

Computers on your network may require specific drivers to use the printer. See your printer's user manual for

Important info: For multi-function printers, only the print feature is supported. If your printer has a

scan feature, it will not work when connected to the NAS. In addition, only PostScript printers are
supported. If your printer does not appear in the printer service, it is likely that it does not support
PostScript printing. This is frequently the case with multi-function and photo printers. Seagate
