3. Using the Printer Function This chapter describes the printer functions. Configuring Option Settings for the Printer If bidirectional communication is not available, use the printer driver to configure the printer's option settings. Conditions for Bidirectional Communication Bidirectional communication allows information about paper settings to be automatically sent from the printer. Bidirectional communication allows you to check the status of the printer from your computer. • Bidirectional communication is supported by Windows 2000/XP/Vista, and Windows Server 2003/2003 R2/2008. To support bidirectional communication, the following conditions must be met: ❖ When connected via a network The printer must be connected via a standard TCP/IP port, and the default port name must not be changed. ❖ When connected via USB The printer must be connected to the computer's USB port using a USB interface cable. The computer must support bidirectional communication. Bidirectional communication must be enabled in the printer properties. Note ❒ The PS3 printer driver does not support bidirectional communication. You can update printer status manually. If Bidirectional Communication is Disabled Configure option settings when bidirectional communications are disabled. Important ❒ Manage Printers permission is required to change the printer properties in the [Printers] folder. Log on as an Administrators or Power Users group member to acquire this permission. ❒ Make sure that [Enable bidirectional support] in the [Port] tab of the printer properties is selected. The machine cannot print if [Enable bidirectional support] is not selected. 103
