•
When the printer and PC are connected using a USB cable, the printer and PC
automatically set up a local network. The printer has an IP address, which can
be used to view the Printer Manager. (See
“Open the Printer Manager” .)
Each time another card printer is connected to the PC, the local network is
updated to include the new printer. For best results, do not connect another
printer while using Printer Manager.
•
Applications can also be customized to communicate with the printer
through the driver. If the application you use is customized, follow
instructions in the application.
