Connect to a Printer
Note: This function applies to stand-alone USB printers or USB multi-function printers. It
is required that the printer drivers are installed before your computer is able to print.
Please ensure the printer drivers are installed. If the printer drivers are not installed,
please refer to your printer manufacturer website or documentation on where to
download and how to install the printer drivers. Before installing the printer drivers,
connect your computer to the printer using the USB utility first. Some printers may
require that the printer is directly connected to the computer in order to complete the
driver installation.
Once the printer drivers are installed properly on your computer,
1. Connect the USB cable from the printer to the USB 2.0 port on the router. Select the
printer listed in the utility.
2. Click Connect to connect your computer to the printer.

Connect Printer Feature.

Auto-Connect Printer Feature
When a USB printer is connected and selected in the main window, clicking this option
allows you to enable/disable the auto connect feature to a selected printer in the Auto-
Connect printer list. When your computer attempts to print, the Auto-Connect feature
will automatically connect your computer to the set Auto-Connect printer assigned in
the utility. Once the print job from your computer is completed, it will automatically
disconnect to make the printer available to other computers on your network.
Note: It is recommended to enable this feature on all computers that will need to
connect to the USB printer. Enabling the Auto-Connect Printer feature will avoid the
complexity of having to manually connect and disconnect from the printer for each
computer when multiple computers are sending print jobs to the USB printer.
1. Click Auto-Connect Printer.
