About the version indication
The same Driver version indication as the one via Netspot Suite Service appears only when communicating with
Device via DIAS (Service) (i.e., when connected through a shared printer).
Compatibility of DIAS and Netspot Suite Service
DIAS and Netspot Suite Service are compatible and independent. Driver supporting DIAS does not use Netspot Suite
Service even if it is installed.
Cautions when using DIAS
CBT controls all access to Local Port; both DIAS (DLL/Service) and NetSpot Suite Service use CBT to access Local
Port from the same PC.
CBT was installed only on Netspot Suite Service before; it is automatically uninstalled in response to uninstalling
the existing NetSpot Suite Service. Follow the procedures below when uninstalling the former versions of NetSpot
Suite Service v3.40 and when uninstalling JobMonitor v4.20 and former.
- Reinstall DIAS after the uninstallation is complete. (Reinstallation of DIAS is enabled via Installer.)
- Update NetSpot Suite Service to the latest version (v3.40 and later).
