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.54 “If 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, 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.
Note
❒ The RPCS printer driver supports bidirectional communications and updates
the printer status automatically.
❒ The PCL printer driver supports bidirectional communications. You can up-
date 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.

stalled, and TCP/IP must be used.
• 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.
• In addition to the above, one of the following conditions must also be met:
• 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).
