In Windows environments, network printers can be configured for direct printing or shared printing. Both network printing methods require the installation of printer software and the creation of a network port. Printing method Example IP printing • Printer is connected directly to the network using a network cable, such as an Ethernet cable. • Printer software is typically installed on each network computer. Shared printing • Printer is connected to one of the computers on the network using a local cable, such as a USB or parallel cable. • Printer software is installed on the computer attached to the printer. • During software installation, the printer is set up to be "shared" so that other network computers can print to it. The Software and Documentation CD can be used to install the necessary printer software on most Windows operating systems. 1 Connect the Ethernet cable from the computer to the wall LAN outlet. 2 Connect a telephone cord into the Line port of the printer, and then plug it into an active telephone wall jack. 25
