Displaying Optional Accessory
Configuration and Paper Tray Settings
For Windows
When using this printer as a network printer and having enabled SNMP protocol, you can
display on the print driver, the optional accessory configuration or settings configured at the
control panel such as paper type or size. These settings are displayed on the [Options] tab.
This section explains the procedure using Windows XP as an example.
Important
• When using this printer as a local printer, this feature cannot be used. You have to manually set the
items on the print driver. Also, the paper type and size that are loaded in the paper tray cannot be
displayed when using the printer as a local printer.
• For paper size and paper type settings, you must configure them at the control panel beforehand.
Note
• When using this feature, you have to activate the SNMP port (default: [Enable]) on the printer using the
control panel.
• For Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000/Windows XP, only users with administrator’s rights can change the
settings. Users without the rights can only check the contents.
