42 2 Basic Operation
2.6 Importing the Printer Information to the
Print Driver
If the printer is networked, you can import the printer information (such as accessory
configuration, sizes and types of paper in the paper trays) into your print driver using SNMP
protocol. This can be done on the [Options] tab on the print driver.
The following procedure is described based on Windows XP using the PCL print driver.
Note
• You cannot use this feature when the printer is a local printer. If your printer is a local printer, you must
manually set the information on your print driver. Also, the sizes and types of paper loaded in each tray
will not be displayed on the print driver.
• To use this feature, enable a SNMP port (default: [Enable]) on the control panel.
• On Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP, only users with administrator level access can
change the settings. Users without administrator level access can only view the settings.
1. From the Windows [Start] menu, select [Printers and Faxes].
Select to highlight the printer, and then select [Properties] from the [File] menu.
2. Click the [Options] tab in the Properties dialog box.
3. Click [Get Information from Printer].
The printer information is imported to the print driver.
4. Click [OK] to update the [Options] tab with the latest printer information.
Note
• The paper sizes and orientations displayed in [Paper Tray Information] are those automatically detected
by the printer.
• The paper types displayed in [Paper Tray Information] are those configured on the control panel.
