I was able to access a memory card in the printer when it was connected to my computer with a USB cable. But after I installed the network software, I can no longer access a card in the printer from my computer. What happened?

EXPLANATION:
When you enabled the network connection, the USB connection was disabled. The printer supports only one connection type at a time: USB, Ethernet cable, or wireless.
To access the memory card slot over a network, set File Sharing Setup to Enable on the printer's control panel and select Network. This setting is available via Network Settings in the Setup menu. You need to select Read Only. To make the memory card writable, set the Share mode to Read/Write.
