1-30 Installing Windows Printer Drivers
Bi-Directional Printer Drivers
If you have a TCP/IP network, the Windows NT4.0/2000/XP printer drivers can, as
an option, provide Bi-Directional capabilities. With Bi-Directional communication, a
printer driver communicates with the printer through your network.
After an initial setup procedure, Bi-Directional communication automatically updates
the printer driver with the printer’s installed options and reports specific information
about the printer’s operational status, active jobs, completed jobs, and paper status in
your Xerox system.
N
OTE
: If network communication is temporarily unavailable or is not configured
properly for the printer, the network, or your workstation, the Bi-Directional
information does not appear.
