Making Option Settings for the Printer
Make option settings for the printer using the printer driver when bidirectional 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 printer status from your computer.
• Bidirectional communication is supported by Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP, Windows Server
2003/2003 R2, 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
• DeskTopBinder Lite must be installed, or the Standard TCP/IP port must be used.
• Under Windows 2000/XP, 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.
If the Standard TCP/IP port is not being used, one of the following conditions must be met in addition
to the two above:
• The SmartDeviceMonitor for Client port and the TCP/IP protocol must be used.
• The standard TCP/IP port must be used without changing the default port name (for Windows
2000 / XP and Windows Server 2003/2003 R2).
