Using the SmartDeviceMonitor for client port

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

Important

  • 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.
