Before Start Printing


This page explains how to configure the settings to print using standard Windows printing.


  • When standard Windows printing is used, it is impossible to get printer status using the status monitor software that came with the printer or MFP.
    Also, if the printer supports bi-directional printing only, standard Windows printing cannot be used.
  • When using standard Windows printing, up to 4 printers can be used at a time. To connect 5 or more printers, SX Virtual Link must be used.
  • It is impossible to print to printers or MFPs connected to other computers via SX Virtual Link.
    Also, when printers or MFPs are busy with standard Windows printing, they cannot be connected via SX Virtual Link.
  • In Windows Vista / 7, the RAW mode printing cannot be used. Please use LPR or IPP printing.

SX-3000GB supports three types of network printing protocols; Raw, LPR and IPP, which are commonly used by users.
When a printer is connected to SX-3000GB, you can use standard Windows printing feature.

Before adding a printer port, access the Web page of SX-3000GB and check the destination printer port assigned to the printer connected to SX-3000GB.

  • When connecting a printer via a USB Hub, unplugging the printer and plugging it into a different port on the Hub will cause the printer port information to change. In such a case, check the destination printer port on the Web page of SX-3000GB, and update the printer port settings on your computer accordingly.
