Conditions for Bidirectional Communication
If bidirectional communication is enabled, the machine's information is automatically sent to your
computer. You can also check the machine's status from your computer.
If bidirectional communication is enabled and the option is not recognized, turn the machine off, and
then turn it on again.
To support bidirectional communication, the following conditions must be met:
Connecting Machine via USB
• The computer supports bidirectional communications.
• The printer properties settings are specified for bidirectional communications.
Connecting Machine via Ethernet Interface
• The printer properties settings are specified for bidirectional communications.
• If you share a printer connected to the print server, bidirectional communication between the
printer and client computer may not work depending on the Windows firewall setting. See
page 253 "Status Monitor Does Not Open".
If Bidirectional Communication is Unavailable
This section explains how to configure the printer driver settings for the option attached to the machine
and the size of the loaded paper. Perform this procedure if the machine and computer are not
communicating bidirectionally.
• Only administrators can make this setting. Log on as a member of the Administrators group.
