XPS Card Printer Driver User’s Guide 3
Printer/Driver Communications Over a Network
The Card Printer Driver requires the current printer IP address when it is connected to the printer
over a network. Refer to the printer’s
User’s Guide for information on how to retrieve the
printer’s IP address.
When both the printer and the PC use an organization's network, the network affects the speed
of data transmission, and can affect who can use the printer. The network printer can have many
PCs connected to it, and each PC can be connected to multiple printers over the network.
Printer/Driver Communications Using a USB Connection
Connecting the printer and a PC using a USB cable automatically creates a local network. Each
time another printer is connected to the PC, it creates a new local network for the new printer.
You can connect up to eight printers to a PC using USB cables.
The printer requires a USB 2.0 connection.
