Insert your USB drive into the USB port on the Trek either directly or with a USB cable. Computers on your local area network (LAN) can automatically access this USB drive using a web browser or Microsoft Networking. 2. If you want to specify read-only access or to allow access from the Internet, see Configure the USB Storage Device and Access Settings on page 74. Print High-Quality Photos from a Nonshared Printer You can print high-quality photos from a nonshared printer. This scenario is for a family that does not have a print server: • A family member has photos on a Macintosh computer and wants to print them. • The photo-capable color printer is directly attached to a Windows computer, but not shared on the network. • The Mac and the Windows computer are not visible to each other on the network. To print high-quality photos from a nonshared printer, do one of the following: • 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. • On a Window computer, use a web browser or Microsoft Networking to copy the files from the USB drive to the computer. Then print the files. You can also set up a network printer. For more information, see Set Up a Network Printer on page 85. Send Large Files over the Internet Sending files that are larger than 5 MB can pose a problem for many email systems. The Trek allows you to share large files such as PowerPoint presentations or .zip files over the Internet. You can use FTP to download shared files from the Trek. Sharing files with a remote colleague involves the following considerations: • The two user accounts are admin and guest. The password for admin is the same one that you use to access the Trek. By default, it is password. The guest user account has no password. USB Port 82
