Using the SmartDeviceMonitor for Client Port

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

For a 64-bit operating system, bidirectional communication is not possible if the SmartDeviceMonitor port is used. In such a case, it is recommended to use the Standard TCP/IP Port.
Only administrators can perform this installation. Log on as a member of the Administrators group.
To use the SmartDeviceMonitor for Client port, you need to download SmartDeviceMonitor for Client from the manufacturer's Web site. See Downloading Utility Software .
