Sharing the Printer Installation

You may be using your computer and the printer connected to your
computer in an environment where multiple computers are connected by
a network. In this case, you can share the use of your printer with the
other computers on the network.

If you choose to share the use of your printer, your computer acts as the
host system or server to the other computers (also referred to as remote or
client systems).

Chapter 2 Installing and Getting Started 13

After you set up your printer for sharing, the client systems must install
the printer driver onto their systems. They can do so directly from your
system. Based on which Windows operating system you are using, the
following client system can share your printer:

If your system (server) is: Install on client system:

Windows 98/Me Windows 98/Me

Windows 2000/XP Windows 98/Me or Windows 2000/XP

When a document is printed by the client system to a shared printer, any
printing messages (status or error messages) display on the server
system.

To set up the printer for sharing:

1. On the MultiPASS server system, on the Windows desktop, click
Start.

2. On the Start menu, point to Settings and then click Printers
(in Windows XP, click Printers and Faxes on the Start menu).

3. In the Printers window (in Windows XP, the Printers and Faxes
window), click the MultiPASS printer icon.

4. On the File menu, click Sharing.

If the Sharing command is not available, you need to set up printer
sharing in Windows. For details, see your Windows user
documentation.

5. In the Properties dialog box, on the Sharing tab, click Shared, Shared
As, or Share this printer.

6. In the Share Name box (Windows 98/Me/XP) or Shared As box
(Windows 2000), type a name you want to assign to the shared
printer.

If available, you may also want to assign a password, which would
then be required by the client system when using the printer.

Chapter 2 Installing and Getting Started 14

7. If your situation matches the following, set up an alternate or
additional driver:

•Windows 2000/XP server system sharing with Windows 98/Me
client systems

For detailed instructions, see Appendix A in this guide. (P. 136)

8. In the Properties dialog box, click OK.

To install the printer driver on a client system:

1. On the server system, verify that the Status Monitor is running.

2. On the client system, on the Windows taskbar, click Start.

3. On the Start menu, point to Settings, and then click Printers
(in Windows XP, click Printers and Faxes on the Start menu).

4. In the Printers window (in Windows XP, the Printers and Faxes
window), double-click Add Printer (in Windows XP, click Add a
printer).

5. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Install the printer driver as a network printer, based on the name
assigned to the shared printer.

You cannot install the printer driver on a client system that has a previous
version of the MultiPASS software (version 4.2 or earlier).

Understanding the My MultiPASS Folder

During the MultiPASS installation, the following My MultiPASS folder is
created, which the MultiPASS system uses to store scanned images:

Chapter 2 Installing and Getting Started 15

❏

Scan to Save

When the Save As button on the MultiPASS Toolbar is clicked on, the
image is scanned from the computer and is usually stored in the My
Pictures folder. The factory predefined setting is the My Pictures
folder in My Documents.
If there is no My Pictures folder, the image will be stored in the My
Documents folder. If there is no My Documents folder, it will be
stored in this Scan to Save folder. Scanned documents are assigned a
unique name with a file name extension such as .bmp, .tif, or .jpg
according to the file format. If you have saved a picture and cannot
find it you can search for it by the file name.

The My MultiPASS folder works within Windows Explorer, and thus has
a similar structure. However, only the system can place documents into
this folder. In addition, you cannot delete, move, or rename this folder.
The folder can only be deleted by uninstalling the MultiPASS Suite.

You can perform basic Windows Explorer tasks on any document in the
My MultiPASS folder, such as renaming or copying (and then pasting the
document to another Windows folder). You can view documents as
thumbnails, icons, or a list (sorting the list as needed). For more
information, see your Windows Explorer documentation.

Chapter 2 Installing and Getting Started 16

To open My MultiPASS:

Do one of the following:

❏

On the MultiPASS Toolbar, click MultiPASS.

❏

On the Windows desktop, double-click the My MultiPASS icon.

When you open My MultiPASS, the MultiPASS menu appears on the
menu bar.

To rename a document in the My MultiPASS folder:

1. In the My MultiPASS window, under My MultiPASS, click the Scan
to Save folder.

2. Click the desired document.

3. On the File menu, click Rename.

4. In the Rename dialog box, enter the new name for your document.

Because My MultiPASS works within Windows Explorer, as an
alternative, you can open My MultiPASS in Windows Explorer. In
Windows Explorer, My MultiPASS appears under Desktop.

Chapter 2 Installing and Getting Started 17

Reading photographs on the memory card

When you connect the printer, Removable Disk will appear in My
Computer. This is the printer’s memory card drive.

If a memory card used in a digital camera is inserted in the printer and
you open the removable disk, you can open photographs on the memory
card as well as copy them to the hard disk.

You do this in the same way as general files on the hard disk etc.

Chapter 2 Installing and Getting Started 18

Chapter 3
Printing 3

Once you have installed the software, you are ready to print a document
from any Windows application that supports printing, such as Word for
Windows.

Your printer is initially installed using factory-predefined settings,
enabling you to print immediately. These settings determine what your
documents look like when printed. For example, the settings define print
properties such as the paper size and page orientation.

Instructions for printing a document can vary somewhat for different
Windows applications. Therefore, for detailed instructions, see the user
documentation for the specific application from which you are printing.

The following instructions summarize the general procedures for printing
a document.

To print a document:

1. With your document open in your Windows application, click the
print command. (In most applications, the print command is on the
File menu or toolbar.) To print your document with the current
driver settings, click the print button on the toolbar.

2. In the Print dialog box, make sure the printer is selected in the Printer
box.

3. Click the command to print your document (usually OK or Print).

Changing Print Settings 0

The factory-predefined print settings can be changed when printing a
particular document. For example, to suit your exact printing
requirements, you can define settings for printing a draft copy of a report,
and save the settings as a new print profile.

Chapter 3 Printing 19

Unless you save your settings as a print profile, your settings are
available only for the current print job.

Changes can be made to general quality print settings (such as media
type), and to page setup and special effects you want to apply to your
printed image.

Print settings are changed in the printer’s Properties dialog box. There are
two methods of displaying the printer’s Properties dialog box.

Faxes window, right-click the printer icon, then click Printing
Preferences.)

Changes made using this method will be effective for all subsequent
print jobs.

You have two methods by which you can define print settings:

❏ Print Advisor

The Print Advisor displays as a wizard that guides you through a
series of questions. Your responses enable the Print Advisor to
automatically specify the appropriate print settings.

Scanning 4

You can use the printer to scan documents by the following methods:

❏ Using the MultiPASS Toolbar

The MultiPASS Toolbar (also referred to as the Toolbar) enables you
to scan a document or image into your PC. The appearance of the
Toolbar can change based on the settings (such as shown buttons and
size) you define for the Toolbar.

❏ Using a TWAIN or WIA compliant Windows application

If you are using Windows 98/Me/2000, use ScanGear for MultiPASS,
the TWAIN-compliant driver. You cannot use a WIA-compliant
driver. If you are using Windows XP, you can use either the ScanGear
for MultiPASS or the WIA-compliant driver. On the MultiPASS
Toolbar, click on Settings and then choose which driver you would
like to use. Both drivers allow you to use a printer to scan documents
to a Windows application such as a PhotoShop, that supports a
TWAIN interface. Some applications allow multiple page scans,
while others do not. If you are unsure whether your Windows
application supports this feature, refer to the user documentation for
the application you are using.

When you scan a document, the system uses predefined settings that
determine the characteristics of your scanned image (such as the image
type and resolution), enabling you to begin scanning immediately.
However, you can change these settings as needed.

Chapter 4 Scanning 57

To scan an image with the Toolbar:

1. Place your image facedown on the platen glass of your printer.

If the file format is not TIFF, only one sheet can be scanned if you plan
on scanning with the Viewer, OCR, Custom1, Custom2, or Custom3
button (see next step).

2. On the Windows desktop, on the MultiPASS Toolbar, click the
appropriate scan button.

• Click E-Mail to scan your document and automatically attach it to
a message in your e-mail application.

• Click Save As to scan your document and automatically save it in
the My Pictures folder in the My Documents folder. When
MultiPASS Suite is installed and there is no My Pictures folder,
images will be saved to the My Documents folder. If there is no
My Documents folder either, the images are set up to be saved to
the Scan to Save folder.
This save location can be changed with the Toolbar Settings.
Scanned documents are assigned a unique name with a file name
extension such as .bmp, .tif, or .jpg according to the file format.

• Click Viewer to scan your document and automatically have it
display in a graphic application (such as MultiPASS Viewer).

• If the buttons appear on the Toolbar, click OCR, Custom1,
Custom2, or Custom3 to scan your document and automatically
have it display in an application you assigned in the Toolbar
settings (such as OmniPage or Microsoft Paint).

3. If the scanner window appears, define your scan settings as desired
and scan your document.

For details on setting the scanner window to appear, see the
“Defining Toolbar Settings” section. For details on defining scan
settings, see the “Working with Scan Settings in ScanGear” or
“Working with Scan Settings in WIA” section.

If the scanner window does not appear, skip to the next step.
