Replacing the Printer

If the printer needs replacement because of a failure or other reason, it cannot be used by simply
replacing the printers. This explains the methods for replacing the printer without changing the
application on the client computer.
USB interface model
Two procedures are available for replacing a USB model printer.
❏ Installing "USB Replacement Service" as a resident program on the client computer. (Recom-
mended)
❏ Matching the USB serial numbers of the printers.
Use this procedure if the application's output destination is set to the printer port.
Normally, when a new USB interface model printer is connected, a new printer driver
(printer queue) and a new USB port are created on the client computer. It is necessary to
change the port when printing with the new printer from the application on the client com-
puter.
