Conditions for Bidirectional Communication

When the Printer Monitor is set to active, the printer and your computer establish bidirectional communication. Bidirectional communication allows information such as option settings to be automatically sent to the printer driver and changed accordingly.

To enable bidirectional communication, the following conditions must be met:

• The printer and computer are connected through a network.

• The connection is through a Standard TCP/IP, IPR, or IPP port.

• The Printer Monitor is enabled.
