Printer Server; Installation On A Pc - Planet NAS-7102 User Manual

4.4 Printer Server

The network drive is equipped with an additional USB host port and a printer server.
Connect your USB printer to the USB host port on the network drive to share it with other
workstations on the same local network.

4.4.1 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. Login to your network drive and go to the Printer menu to make sure the printer
has been recognized. We also strongly recommend using a fixed IP address, 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 press Next
to start.
5. Select Local printer attached to this computer, deselect Automatically
detect and install my Plug and Play printer and press Next.
6. Select Create a new port, choose Standard TCP/IP Port from the list and click
on Next.
