Bidirectional communication allows information about paper settings to be automatically sent from the printer. You can check printer status from your computer.
Bidirectional communication is supported by Windows 2000/XP/Vista, and Windows Server 2003/2003 R2/2008.
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 port name has not been changed.
[Enable bidirectional support] in the [Port] tab of the printer properties is selected.
When connected with USB
The printer must be connected to the computer's USB port using the USB interface cable.
[Enable bidirectional support] in the [Port] tab of the printer properties is selected.
The PostScript 3 printer driver does not support bidirectional communication.
The PCL printer drivers support bidirectional communication. You can update printer status manually.
