Configuring the Network Card Slot
This section describes how to use the control panel to change the way that computers on the network can access the printer’s memory card slots.
To share the memory card slot on a network, set File Sharing Setup to Enable on the printer’s control panel. To make the memory card writable, set the Share mode to Read/Write.
Note:|
This feature is not available for all printers or may not be enabled.
|
 |
Verify that the printer is turned on.
|
Note:|
Do not turn off the power or unplug the printer while making settings on the control panel. Doing so may cause malfunction.
Setting the network while accessing the memory card may interrupt access.
|
 |
Enter the Setup mode.
|
 |
Select Network Settings.
|
 |
Select File Sharing Setup.
|
 |
Select USB or Network.
If you select Network, you need to select Read Only or Read/Write. |
Note:|
When Network is selected as the file sharing setting, USB-connected computers cannot access the memory card. When USB is selected, computers on the network cannot access the memory card.
When a memory card is inserted in the printer, a warning message may be displayed. If a message appears, check the message and then click OK.
