USB Replacement Service
“USB Replacement Service“ is a program that detects when a new printer is connected, changes
the properties information of the printer driver registered in Windows, and automatically
changes the output port. When this is installed as a resident program on the client computer, it
is
not necessary to configure settings in the application, printer driver, or OS. However, printer
settings are required.
❏ Preparation
•Install “USB Replacement Service“ on the client computer.
•Printer setting file for existing printer
(Do not include the USB serial number setting.)
•DIP switch setting informati
on for existing printer
❏ Printer replacement procedure
➀ Remove the existing printer from the client computer.
➁ Connect the new printer to the client computer and turn on the printer. “USB Replacement Service“ will
detect the connection of the new printer and set a new printer port for the existing printer driver.
➂ Configure the existing printer settings in the printer. Use the existing printer’s printer setting file and the
DIP switch setting information. (Refer to
"Setup Procedure" on page 225.)
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 appli
cation, 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
When this procedure is used, the existing printer port will remain. For this reason, if the
printer port is specified as the application’s output destination, use the procedure for
changing the printer’s USB serial number to replace the printer.
