Replacing the Printer
If the printer needs replacement because of a failure or other reason, it cannot be used by simply
replacing the printers. This explains the methods for replacing the printer without changing the
application on the client computer.
Local Printer
Replace the printer using the USB Replacement Service.
The 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 resi
dent 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 the USB Replacement Service on the client computer.
•Backup file of the existing printer
❏ Printer replacement procedure
1. Start Deployment Tool on the administrator's computer and set the Media source
settings and Media detection settings to the new printer.
2. Remove the existing printer from the client computer. Connect the new printer and
power on the printer.
The USB Replacement Service will detect the connection of the
new printer and set a new printer port for the existing printer driver.
3. Set the media and ink cartridge in the new printer and charge ink.
4. Set up the new printer with the existing printer settings using the backup file of the
existing printer.
