20 21 P r i n t e r /F a x /S c a nn e r S e t u p (V ir t u al U S B ) Y our print server supports a technology called Virtual USB in addition to more traditional print server ports. A Virtual USB connection allows your printer software to think the printer is con- nected directly to your computer , for maximum compatibility .
22 23 Y our printer should be detected and installed au- tomatically at this point. Y ou can repeat this setup procedure on all your computers as needed. One weakness of the Virtual USB technology is that only one computer can be connected to the printer at a time.
22 23 S t o r a g e S e t u p ( W i n d o w s F i l e S h a r i n g / S M B ) Storage devices attached to your server are ac- cessible through Windows File Sharing and FTP protocols. For local network access, Windows File Sharing is the preferr ed method.
24 25 Storage Setup (Virtual USB) T o gain full control of NTFS disks you will need to use the Virtual USB mode for storage devices. In this mode only one computer has access to a disk at a time, but any disk operation is possible including formatting or partitioning.

26 27 Once this is done, you may connect or discon - nect from storage devices in the same way you would a printer . Simply open the Control Center interface, select a storage device and click the Connect button in the toolbar .
