Matching the USB serial numbers of the printers
If the USB serial number of the new printer is the same as that of the existing printer, the printer
can be replaced without changing the application on the client computer or the printer driver
settings. However, printer settings are necessary. If a printer port is specified as the output
destination of the application, this method is recommended.
The USB serial number can be registered in the printer setting file, or edited in Printer Setting.
This explains the procedure for replacing the printer of the client computer by changing the new
printer's USB serial number on the administrator computer.
❏ Preparation
• Printer setting file for the existing printer
(Include the USB serial number setting.)
• DIP switch setting information for the existing printer
❏ Procedure for replacing the printer
➀
Connect the new printer to the administrator computer and turn on the printer.
➁
Configure the existing printer settings in the printer. The USB serial number in the printer
setting file for the existing printer will be the USB serial number of the new printer. Set the
printer's DIP switches to match the DIP switch setting information of the existing printer.
