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.

• One family member has photos on a Macintosh computer that she wants to print.

• The photo-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 the 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:

• There are three kinds of accounts: admin, guest, and user accounts. The password for

admin is the same one that you use to access the router. By default, it is password. The

guest user account has no password. You specify the passwords for user accounts in the

User Setup screen (

User Setup on page 53).

• 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 sure 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.
