    NOTE:
  • You will be able to print to your all-in-one printer when connected using a USB cable connected to the APPLE Base Station.
  • Home Center Software is not supported when the all-in-one printer is connected using USB to the APPLE EXTREME, TIME CAPSULE, or AIRPORT EXPRESS Base Station.
  • Other functions, such as scanning will not be available.
  • You may experience a loss of speed when printing, since the print job is using the AIRPORT EXTREME, TIME CAPSULE, or EXPRESS Base Station to send the print job.
  • If you are using a wireless-enabled printer, connect your printer to your wireless network using the wireless feature. Do not connect a wireless printer using a USB cable connected to the AIRPORT device.
