Importing Printer Information To A Print Driver - Xerox DocuPrint C3055 User Manual

2.6 Importing Printer Information to a Print
Driver
If your printer is networked, you can import printer information (such as accessory
configuration, sizes and types of paper in the paper trays) into your print driver using SNMP
protocol. This can be done on the [Options] tab on your print driver.
The following procedure is described based on Windows XP using the PCL print driver.
Note
• This feature is not available when your printer is a local printer, and you must manually set the
information on your print driver. Also, the sizes and types of paper loaded in each tray will not be
displayed on the print driver.
• To use this feature, enable the printer's SNMP port (default: [Enable]) on the control panel.
• On Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP, only users with administrator level access can
change the settings. Users without administrator level access can only view the settings.
1. From the Windows [Start] menu, select [Printers and Faxes].
Select to highlight the printer, and then select [Properties] from the [File] menu.
2. Click the [Options] tab in the Properties dialog box.
3. Click [Get Information from Printer].
The printer information is imported to the print driver.
4. Click [OK] to update the [Options] tab.
Note
• The paper sizes and orientations displayed in [Paper Tray Information] are those automatically detected
by the printer.
• The paper types displayed in [Paper Tray Information] are those you configured on the control panel.
