You can check printer status from your computer. • Bidirectional communication is supported by Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows NT 4.0. • If you use the RPCS printer driver and bidirectional communication is enabled under Windows 2000, the [Change Accessories] tab is unavailable. • The RPCS printer driver supports bidirectional communications and updates the printer status automatically. • The PCL printer driver supports bidirectional communications. You can update printer status manually. • The PostScript 3 printer driver does not support bidirectional communications. To support bidirectional communication, the following conditions must be met: When connected with parallel cables • The computer must support bidirectional communication. • The printer must support bidirectional communication. • The interface cable must support bidirectional communication. • The printer must be connected to the computer using the standard parallel cables and parallel connectors. • Under Windows 2000, [Enable bidirectional support] must be selected, and [Enable printer pooling] must not be selected on the [port] tab with the RPCS printer driver. When connected with the network • The printer must support bidirectional communication. • SmartDeviceMonitor for Client included on the CD-ROM must be installed, and TCP/IP must be used. • Under Windows 2000, [Enable bidirectional support] must be selected, and [Enable printer pooling] must not be selected on the [port] 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. 59

matically sent to the printer. You can check printer status from your computer.

•

Bidirectional communication is supported by Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP, Windows Server

2003, and Windows NT 4.0.

•

If you use the RPCS printer driver and bidirectional communication is enabled under Windows 2000,

the [Change Accessories] tab is unavailable.

•

The RPCS printer driver supports bidirectional communications and updates the printer status auto-

matically.

•

The PCL printer driver supports bidirectional communications. You can update printer status manually.

•

The PostScript 3 printer driver does not support bidirectional communications.

To support bidirectional communication, the following conditions must be met:

When connected with parallel cables

•

The computer must support bidirectional communication.

•

The printer must support bidirectional communication.

•

The interface cable must support bidirectional communication.

•

The printer must be connected to the computer using the standard parallel cables and parallel

connectors.

•

Under Windows 2000, [Enable bidirectional support] must be selected, and [Enable printer

pooling] must not be selected on the [port] tab with the RPCS printer driver.

When connected with the network

•

The printer must support bidirectional communication.

•

SmartDeviceMonitor for Client included on the CD-ROM must be installed, and TCP/IP must be

used.

•

Under Windows 2000, [Enable bidirectional support] must be selected, and [Enable printer

pooling] must not be selected on the [port] tab with the RPCS printer driver.
