About Sharing the Printer on a Network
If you work in a networked environment, you can connect your printer to the network.
Locally-shared Printer
You can connect the printer directly to a selected computer, which is called the "host
computer" on the network. The printer can then be shared by other users on the network
through a Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP, or NT 4.0 network machine connection.
Wired Network-connected Printer
Your printer has a built-in network interface. For details, see page 23.
Printing Across a Network
Whether the printer is locally connected or network-connected, you need to install the Dell
Laser MFP 1600n software on each computer that prints documents using the printer.
Setting Up the Locally Shared Printer
You can connect the printer directly to a selected computer, which is called the "host
computer," on the network. Your printer can be shared by other users on the network
through a Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP, or NT 4.0 network machine connection.
