Using the SmartDeviceMonitor for Client Port (TCP/IP)

This section explains how to install the printer driver (TCP/IP) and set up the SmartDeviceMonitor for Client port.

To use the SmartDeviceMonitor for Client port, you need to install the SmartDeviceMonitor for Client. If you installed the printer driver when performing [Quick Install for Network], there is no need to install it again here.

  2. Quit all applications currently running.

  3. Select an interface language, and then click [OK].

    The following languages are available:
