-Bidirectional transmission
When bidirectional transmission is
enabled, information such as paper
size and feed orientation is automati-
cally sent to the computer. You can
also check machine status from your
computer.
Bidirectional transmission is sup-
ported under Windows 95/98/Me/
2000/XP, Windows Server 2003,
and Windows NT 4.0.
When bidirectional transmission is
running, machine status and infor-
mation can be viewed by opening
the printer driver screen.
To support bidirectional transmis-
sion, the following conditions are re-
quired:
When connecting with USB 2.0
The port on the USB 2.0 inter-
face and the USB port on the
computer are connected using a
USB interface cable (Windows
98 SE/Me/2000/XP, Windows
Server 2003).
Note
In Windows 98 SE/Me, [Enable
bi-directional support for this print-
er
] must be selected in [

tings] on the [Details] tab in

dows Server 2003, [

and [Enable printer pooling] must
not be selected on the [Ports] tab

Microsoft TCP/IP Print is used
(Windows NT 4.0).
The IP address is included in

col.
