Kensington ShareCentral 1 Guide D'instructions page 6

Installing the Software (ShareCentral 2/ShareCentral 5 only)
Insert the software installation CD into your computer's CD drive and follow the on-
screen instructions. On Mac computers, no on-screen instructions will appear. Drag and
drop the Kensington Share Central program into the applications folder from the CD.
NOTE: If you want to use the Smart Features on two or more computers, you must
install the CD software onto each one.
Automatic Printer Sharing (ShareCentral 2/ShareCentral 5 only)
With Automatic Printer Sharing, both computers can use a printer without switching.
Even though the printer is assigned to one computer (as indicated by the solid indicator
light), the other computer can send jobs to the printer without pressing any button on
the ShareCentral or on the computer keyboard.
To use Automatic Printer Sharing, both computers must have the printer driver
installed. Check the printer documentation for information.
NOTE: The printer can accommodate only one job at a time. If you send a print job
while the printer is already in use by the other computer, your job may not go through,
depending on how your system is set up to handle print jobs. To be sure your print job
will go through, wait until the printer is available before submitting a print job.
File Corruption Protection (ShareCentral 2/ShareCentral 5 only)
If a user attempts to switch an external mass storage device—such as an external hard
drive or a flash drive—while the other user is transferring data, the data may become
lost or corrupt. File Corruption Protection prevents a user from switching a device while
data transfer is taking place.
If you install the CD software on your computer, File Corruption Protection prevents
another user from switching the external storage device from your computer while
a data transfer is in process. To fully protect all users' data, we recommend that all
computers connected to the ShareCentral install the CD software to make use of the
File Corruption Protection feature.
NOTE: The user who is trying to switch the device does not receive an alert if the data
transfer is in process and the switch cannot be completed. Check the indicator light on
the ShareCentral to confirm. If the light continues to glow solid on the other computer's
side after you attempt to make a switch, the switch is not successful and the other user
may still use the device.

To override File Corruption Protection, press and hold the external storage device
button on your ShareCentral for at least 3 seconds.
CAUTION: Switching a device while it is in use may cause loss or corruption of data.
Using the Cable Holder
The cable holder helps you avoid cable clutter by routing the cables on one side of your
ShareCentral.
1. Snap the cable holder into the snap-in cable holder jack on either side of your
ShareCentral.
2. Slide in the cables to route them in the direction you want.
