Conditions for Bidirectional Communication

Bidirectional communication allows information about paper settings to be au-
tomatically sent from the printer. You can check printer status from your com-
puter.
• 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 in-
terface 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.
