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.

To install this printer driver under Windows 2000/XP Professional, Windows Server 2003, and Windows NT 4.0, you must have an account that has Manage Printers permission. Log on as an Administrators or Power Users group member.

Start Windows, and then insert the provided “Drivers, Manual & Utilities” CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
Quit all applications currently running.
Select an interface language, and then click [OK].
The following languages are available:
Dansk (Danish), Deutsch (German), English (English), Espanol (Spanish), Francais (French), Italiano (Italian), Nederlands (Dutch), Norsk (Norwegian), Portugues (Portuguese), Svenska (Swedish) The default interface language is English.
Click [RPCS Raster Printer Driver].
If your model is the GX 3050SFN, click [PCL/RPCS Raster Printer Drivers].
The software license agreement appears in the [<License Agreement>] dialog box. After reading the agreement, click [I accept the agreement.], and then click [Next >].
If your model is the GX 3050SFN, a dialog box for installing the printer driver appears. Select the check box of the printer driver you want to install, click [Next >], and then proceed to Step 6..
Double-click the printer name to display the printer settings.
The details shown in [Comment:], [Driver:], and [Port:] vary depending on the operating system, printer model, and port.
Click [Port:], and then click [Add].
Click [SmartDeviceMonitor], and then click [OK].
Click [TCP/IP], and then click [Search].
A list of printers using TCP/IP appears.
Select the printer you want to use, and then click [OK].
Only printers that respond to a broadcast from the computer appear. To use a printer not listed here, click [Specify Address], and then enter the IP address of the printer.
Under Windows 98/Me, you cannot add an IP address partially similar to the one already used. For example, if “192.168.0.2” is in use, “192.168.0.2xx” cannot be used. Similarly, if “192.168.0.20” is in use, “192.168.0.2” cannot be used.
Check that the port of the selected printer is displayed in [Port:].
Click [Shared] to display the printer sharing settings.
Under Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000/XP, and Windows Server 2003, check boxes for alternate drivers appear. Select the check box for the driver you want to install.
To share the printer, select the [Shared] check box.
Select the [Default Printer] check box to configure the printer as default.
Click [Continue].
Installation starts.
Click [Finish] in the installation completion dialog box.

After inserting the CD-ROM, the “Drivers, Manual & Utilities” dialog box appears. If it does not, double-click the CD-ROM drive icon under [My Computer] or [Explorer], and then double-click [Setup.exe].
A message about restarting the computer may appear. Restart the computer to complete installation.
If the message “Digital Signature Not Found” or the [Found New Hardware Wizard] or [Hardware Installation] dialog box appears, see “Notes on the Installation”, Quick Installation Guide.

A message appears if there is a newer version of the printer driver already installed. If there is, you cannot install the printer driver using Auto Run. If you still want to install the printer driver, use [Add a printer]. See If a Message Appears during Installation.
