Adding Plug-ins
Application plug-ins are enhancements to SmartStor’s capabilities. Available

iTunes user interface.

and HTTP files using SmartNAVI. See page 75.
PASM installs plug-ins from a folder on the SmartStor. SmartNAVI installs plug-
ins from your PC. Also see “Adding Plug-ins” on page 71.

Notes
• The Printer Server tab also verifies that your USB printer is
connected and online. If you do not see your printer on the
Printer Server tab, take the necessary action to connect and
power the printer. See “Connecting a USB Printer to
SmartStor” on page 31.
• The software driver for your printer must be installed on your
PC before you can print from the PC. See the printer’s Setup
Guide or User Manual.
