XPS Card Printer Installation and User Guide 84
Communication with the Printer
How the XPS Card Printer Driver and printer communicate
• The printer can be connected to a PC using a USB cable or an Ethernet cable. For both
connection types, the printer treats communication as if the PC (driver) is connected
over a network.
• The driver requires the current printer IP address when it is connected to the printer
over a network. See
How to View the Network Port in the Driver for more information.
• When both the printer and PC use the organization's network, the network affects the
speed of data transmission, and can affect who can use the printer.
• When the printer and PC are connected using a USB cable, the printer and PC
automatically set up a local network. The printer has an IP address, which can be used
to
view the Printer Manager. Each time another card printer is connected to the PC, the
local network is updated to include the new printer. For best results, do not connect
another printer while using Printer Manager.
• Applications can also be customized to communicate with the printer through the
driver. If the application you use is customized, follow instructions in the application.
• The printer can have many PCs connected to it.
HINTS & TIPS
• Each PC can have up to 4 printers connected using USB cables.
• Each PC can be connected to many printers over the network.
• Each printer has a separate instance of the driver.
• Each printer needs to have a different name. The driver takes care of this requirement.
