Using the USB port
Instructions for setting up a printer on the PC
Once you have installed the printer port you still cannot start printing. The printer port
is nothing more than an additional interface on your PC, comparable with the USB port.
It means that any printer you install on this port is also regarded as a local printer even
though it is located in the network and possibly not directly near you.
You still need to connect the printer to this port and configure it.
ì
Connect the printer to the USB port on your Giga762SX WLAN dsl.
The printer is installed in the same way as any other printer:
ì
Go through
Start
–
Settings
–
Printers
and click
Add Printer
.
ì
In the window that opens click
Next
.
ì
Proceed as instructed by the Add Printer Wizard. Please note:
In the window in which you are prompted to specify the location of the printer you
should select
Local printer
(usually the default setting).
ì
Then click
Next
.
ì
Continue to install the printer. Select your printer and click
Next
.
ì
When the window in which you are prompted to enter the type of connection
appears, double-click the port name
Gigaset_port
.
ì
Then continue to install the printer and finish the installation.
Note:
The printer server of the Giga762SX WLAN dsl does not work bi-directionally. It does
not evaluate any of the printer's response messages. For this reason please make sure
that your printer is also only configured uni-directionally.
