Ricoh MP 3054 Series User Manual

Configuring Option Settings for the Printer
When bidirectional communication works correctly, your computer obtains information about option,
paper size and paper feed direction settings from the machine automatically. Bidirectional
communication also allows you to monitor machine status.
When bidirectional communication is disabled, you have to set up option, paper size and paper feed
direction settings on your computer manually.
• Manage Printers permission is required to enable bidirectional communication or to configure the
option settings. Log on as an Administrators group member.
