Problem Solutions

Installing the Printer Driver Using USB

The printer is not recognized automatically.

Windows has already configured the USB settings.

Turn off the power of the printer, reconnect the USB cable, and then turn it on again.

Open Windows' Device Manager, and then, under [Univer- sal Serial Bus controllers], remove any conflicting devices. Conflicting devices have a [!] or [?] icon by them. Take care not to accidentally remove required devices. For details, see Windows Help.

When using Windows 2000/XP/Vista or Windows Server 2003/2003 R2, an erroneous device is displayed under

[USB Controller] in the [Device Manager] dialog box.

Making Option Settings for the Printer

Make option settings for the printer using the printer driver when bidirectional communication is disabled.

Reference

For details about making option settings for the printer, see p.18 “If Bidirectional Communication Is Disabled”.

Conditions for Bidirectional Communication

Bidirectional communication allows information about paper settings to be automatically sent from the printer. You can check printer status from your computer.

• Bidirectional communication is supported by Windows 2000/XP/Vista, and Windows Server 2003/2003 R2.

To support bidirectional communication, the following conditions must be met:

❖ When connected with the network

The printer must be connected via standard TCP/IP port, and the default name has not been changed.

❖ When connected with USB

The printer must be connected to the computer's USB port using the USB interface cable. The computer must support bidirectional communication.

Note

❒ The PostScript printer driver does not support bidirectional communications.

❒ The PCL printer drivers support bidirectional communications. You can up-

date printer status manually.

Page 26

Preparing for Printing

If Bidirectional Communication Is Disabled

This function can be performed using the control panel.

Important

❒ The tray cannot be changed if the following function is set:

• Duplex Print to a tray that does not support duplex printing

•Cover Sheet

❒ If the paper that is loaded is larger than the paper size specified in the printer

driver, using the form feed function could result in a paper jam. Use form feed only if the paper is the same as or smaller than the paper size specified in the printer driver.

Note

❒ If form feed is selected for a tray with the following settings, you can change

the tray by canceling the settings:

• Duplex Print

Note

❒ Check your digital camera is PictBridge-compatible.

❒ Up to 999 images can be sent from the digital camera to the printer during one

print transaction. If an attempt is made to send more images, an error message is sent to the camera and printing fails.

❒ Since printing conditions are specified on the digital camera, specifiable pa-

rameters depend on the digital camera. For details, see the manuals provided with the digital camera.

❒ This function is compatible with USB 1.1.

7. Special Operations under Windows

Printing Files Directly from Windows

You can print files directly using Windows commands; "lpr" or "ftp".

Setup

Follow the procedure below to make network environment settings.

A Enable TCP/IP using Smart Organizing Monitor, and then set up the print-

er’s network environment about TCP/IP including IP addresses.

TCP/IP of the printer is set as default.

B Install a TCP/IP in Windows to set up the network environment.

Consult the network administrator for the local setting information.

C To print, install “Printing service for UNIX” as the network application.

Reference

For details about setting up IPv4 address, see Hardware Guide.

For details about setting the IPv4 address of the printer using DHCP, see p.93 “Using DHCP”.

This completes the setup for specifying a printer using an IPv4 address when printing. When using a host name to specify a printer, proceed to p.70 “Using a Host Name Instead of an IPv4 Address”and continue the setup.

Page 78

Special Operations under Windows

Using a Host Name Instead of an IPv4 Address

When a host name is defined, you can specify a printer by host name instead of IPv4 address. The host names vary depending on the network environment.

When using DNS

Use the host name set to the data file on the DNS server.

When setting the IPv4 address of a printer using DHCP

Use the printer name on the configuration page as the host name.

Reference

For details about printing a configuration page, see p.57 “Printing the printer configurations”.

In other cases

Add the IPv4 address and host name of the network printer to the hosts file on the computer used for printing.

A Open the hosts file using memo pad files, for instance.

The hosts file is in the following folder:

\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\HOSTS

“\WINNT” is the directory of the installation destination for Windows 2000/XP/Vista, and Windows Server 2003/2003 R2

B Add an IPv4 address and host name to the hosts file using the following

format:

192.168.15.16 host # NP

“192.168.15.16” is the IPv4 address, “host” is this printer's host name, and “#NP” is replaced by comments. Insert a space or tab between “192.168.15.16” and “host”, between “host” and “#NP” respectively, using one line for this format.

C Save the file.

Page 79

Printing Files Directly from Windows

Printing Commands

The following explains printing operations using the lpr commands.

Enter commands using the command prompt window. The location of the command prompt varies depending on operating systems:

• Windows 2000

[Start] - [Programs] - [Accessories] - [Command Prompt]

• Windows XP/Vista, Windows Server 2003/2003 R2

[Start] - [All Programs] - [Accessories] - [Command Prompt]

Note

❒ Match the data format of the file to be printed with the emulation mode of this

printer.

❒ If the message “print requests full” appears, no print jobs can be accepted. Try

again when sessions end. For each command, the amount of possible sessions is indicated as follows:

•lpr: 10

❒ Enter the file name in a format including the path from the directory execut-

ing commands.

Reference

The “option” specified in a command is an intrinsic printer option and its syntax is similar to printing from UNIX.

lpr

❖ When specifying a printer by IP address
