Reference For details about making option settings for the printer, see p.49 "If Bidirec- tional Communication Is Disabled". Conditions for Bidirectional Communication Bidirectional communication allows information about paper size and feed direction settings to be automatically sent to the printer. You can check machine status from your computer. • Bidirectional communication is supported by Windows 2000 / XP / Vista and Windows Server 2003 / 2003 R2. • If you use the RPCS printer driver and bidirectional communication is en- abled under Windows 2000, the [Change Accessories] tab is unavailable. Note ❒ The RPCS printer driver supports bidirectional communications and updates the machine status automatically. ❒ The PCL printer driver supports bidirectional communications. You can up- date the machine status manually. To support bidirectional communication, the following conditions must be met: ❖ When connected with parallel cables • The computer must support bidirectional communication. • The machine must support bidirectional communication. • The interface cable must support bidirectional communication. • The machine must be connected to the computer using the standard paral- lel cables and parallel connectors. • Under Windows 2000 / XP / Vista and Windows Server 2003 / 2003 R2, [Enable bidirectional support] must be selected, and [Enable printer pooling] must not be selected on the [Ports] tab with the RPCS printer driver. ❖ When connected with the network • The machine must support bidirectional communication. • SmartDeviceMonitor for Client included on the CD-ROM must be in- stalled, and TCP/IP must be used. • Under Windows 2000 / XP / Vista and Windows Server 2003 / 2003 R2, [Enable bidirectional support] must be selected, and [Enable printer pooling] must not be selected on the [Ports] tab with the RPCS printer driver. • In addition to the above, one of the following conditions must also be met: • The SmartDeviceMonitor for Client port and the TCP/IP protocol must be used. • IPP port name must include the IP address when using the IPP protocol. 48
