This page provides you with information on devices connected to the
Network Space MAX's USB expansion port. Note that the front USB
port is not active when the Network Space MAX is connected to a
computer via USB.
Multimedia Indexation: Click this box (Fig. 79) if you want your La-
Cie Network Assistant devices to be able to access files on the ex-
ternal USB hard drive connected to the Network Space MAX. For
details on connecting a USB hard drive, see 4.14.1. Connecting an
External Hard Disk.
The Network Space MAX features a printer server. To activate it,
click the Activate Printer Server check box. You can connect a USB
printer to the Network Space MAX via the front USB port. Once con-

nected, the printer will become available throughout your network.
Correct printer drivers must be installed on the host computer.
For multi-function printers, only the print feature is supported. If your
printer has a scan feature, for example, it will not work when con-
nected to the Network Space MAX.
Please note that the Network Space MAX only supports PostScript
printers. If your printer does not display on the Front USB port page,
it is likely that PostScript printing is not available. Multi-function and
photo printers generally do not support PostScript printing. Since
LaCie cannot guarantee that your printer supports the proper proto-
cols, please check the user manual of the device.
