Printer Connection and Software Installation
Setting Up for Shared Printing (DocuPrint M215 fw Only)
You can share your new printer on the network using the Software Pack CD-ROM that shipped with
your printer, or using Windows Point and Print or peer-to-peer method. However, if you use either of
the Microsoft methods you will not get features such as the SimpleMonitor and other printer utilities,
which will be installed with the Software Pack CD-ROM.
If you want to use the printer on a network, share the printer and install its drivers on all the computers
on the network.
NOTE:
• You need to purchase a Ethernet cable separately for shared printing.
