Using WD Print Share

Using an Auto-Connected Printer

By default, the printer is in Auto-Connected mode, which allows the computer to be
connected to the printer only when you send a print job to the printer. Another user in the
network can use the printer while you are disconnected.

Using the Connect Button

Connected mode is for both printing and scanning. Selecting the printer or scanner and
clicking Connect manually connects the device to your computer for the timeout duration
set in Tool > Set Timeout in the menu.

Using the Connect Button With a Scanner

1. Select the scanner from the list on the WD Print Share Control Center.

2. Click Connect. The status changes to Connected.

3. Launch the software that came with your scanner.

4. After the scanning job is done, disconnect by clicking Disconnect or let the scanner

disconnect automatically in the predefined time set in Tool > Set Timeout in the menu.

Using the Scan Button

You can also use the Scan button on the WD Print Share Control Center to activate
scanning with the industry standard TWAIN or WIA interface.

1. Select the scanner from the list on the WD Print Share Control Center.

2. Click Scan. You are prompted to select a scanner interface. A scanner user interface

appears on the screen.

3. Choose options and click Scan to scan your picture or document.
