Store Files in a Central Location for Printing
This scenario is for a family that has one high-quality color printer directly attached to a
computer, but not shared on the local area network (LAN). This family does not have a print
server.
• On
e family member has photos on a Macintosh computer that she wants to print.
• The p
hoto-capable color printer is directly attached to a PC, but not shared on the
network.
• The Mac and PC are
not visible to each other on the network.
To print photos from a Mac on the printer attached to a PC:
1. On the Mac,
access the USB drive by typing \\readyshare in the address field of a web
browser. Then copy the photos to the USB drive.
2. On t
he PC, use a web browser or Microsoft Networking to copy the files from the USB drive
to the PC. Then print the files.
Share Large Files over the Internet
Sending files that are larger than 5 MB can pose a problem for many email systems. The
router allows you to share large files such as PowerPoint presentations or .zip files over the
Internet. FTP can be used to easily download shared files from the router.
Sharing files with a remote colleague involves the following considerations:
• On the
FTP site, the person receiving the files uses the guest user account and enters the
password. (FTP requires that you type something in the password field.)
• Be su
re to select the FTP (via Internet) check box in the USB Storage (Advanced
Settings) screen. This option supports both downloading and uploading of files.
You can enable the HTTP (via Internet) option on
the USB Storage (Advanced Settings)
screen to share large files. This option supports downloading files only.
