Using WD Print Share
Using an Auto-Connected Printer
By default, the printer is in Auto-Connected mode, which allows the computer to be
connected to the printer only when you send a print job to the printer. Another user in the
network can
use the printer while you are disconnected.
Using the Connect Button
Connected mode is for both printing and scanning. Selecting the printer or scanner and
clicking Connect manually connects the device to your computer for the timeout duration
set in Tool > Set Timeout in the menu.
