7. Using your network printer
When your printer is successfully installed on your computer through the C54PSERVUM, you
can start using your network printer.
You can connect to your network printer in 2 different ways:
x
Auto Connect:
If you have multiple printer users in your network, it is advised to
use the Auto Connect option. The Auto Connect option will
automatically connect to the printer when a printing command is
received and automatically disconnects when another user wants to
print.
Note:
The Auto Connect feature only works for the print function of your
(multifunctional) printer. If you want to use other features of your
(multifunctional) printer, you need to use the “
Manual Connect
” option in the MFP
Server Control Panel, as described in
Chapter 7.2
.
x
Manual Connect:
Manually connect to your printer when a connection to the printer is
needed. When using the Manual Connect feature, you can also use
the other features of your (multifunctional) printer.
Note:
When you use the manual connect feature, other users in your network can only
connect when you manually disconnect. When you are connected manually, make
sure that you disconnect from the network printer when you are finished with the
network printer.
To make connecting and disconnecting easier, you can set the printer to “
Auto
Connect
” connect (see
Chapter 7.1
).
7.1 Auto Connect (dynamic use, for printing only)
You can set the MFP Server Control Panel to autoconnect to the printer each time you need
to print. Enabling the auto connect feature on your computers has multiple advantages:
x
Automatic connection to the printer when a print command is received.
x
Automatic disconnection when another computer in the network tries to connect to the
printer.
