Socket communication
In the socket server of TCP/IP, Port1 is used for print data reception, Port 2 is used for 2-port
connection of printer status return, and Port 3 is used for 1-port connection for both receiving print
data and printer status return.
It is not possible to use 2 port connection and 1 port connection at the same time.
It is not possible to have few sessions connected at once to each Socket.
Besides Socket, it is possible to use LPR and FTP for sending print data. It is not allowed to
connect to print data port (Port 1 or Port 3) while LRP and/or FTP is connected due to Socket
communication.
Please do not use 2 ports connections consist of Port 2 port and Port 3 port.
