Print on Windows Vista / 7


This page explains how to configure the settings to print using standard Windows printing.
How to print using Windows standard printing feature on Windows Vista / 7 is explained below.


  • 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.
