Sharing Tab
1.Not Shared/Shared As
Specify if this printer is displayed or used on a computer of other users.
For sharing a printer, specify the share name of a printer to be shared. A name specified here appears
when other users view the printer information on a network

Install additional printer drivers on the system.
When users running different versions of Windows share a printer, installing additional drivers avoids the
necessity for installing new drivers on their systems.
NOTE1. If a printer is shared on a network, installing the printer driver on one print server allows other
computers to copy the driver automatically for use. Accordingly, a print server is required to
provide alternative printer drivers for other OSs that may use the printer.

the pattern might generate unnatural lines, patterns, moire effects, and so on depending on the image to
be printed.
