6.6 Socket Connection
In the WS4 series, STATUS3 and protocol for driver (STATUS4) are available as dedicated protocols. The following
are the specific LAN interface specifications when using these protocols. As for the common specifications for
STATUS3 and protocol for driver (STATUS4), refer to [3.3 Return Status], [4.4 STATUS3] and [4.5 Protocol for
Driver (STATUS4)].
6.6.1 Port Connection Method
In the WS4 series, STATUS3 and protocol for driver (STATUS4) are available as dedicated protocols. To use
these protocols, there are two ways to specify the port for connection.
(1) 1 port connection
Port9100 (or 1024) is used for receiving the command and returning the status.
(2) 2-port connection
Port1024 is used for receiving the command, and Port1025 is used for returning the status.
STATUS3 supports 1 port connection only while protocol for driver (STATUS4) supports both 1 port connection
and 2-port connection.
*Notes
- When Port9100 is in use, the return status will be sent to status request command (ENQ) and printer
configuration request command (SOH+MG) only.
- 2-port connection and 1 port connection cannot be used at the same time.
- Each socket cannot establish multiple sessions at the same time.
- LPR can be used for sending the command other than socket connection. Socket connection cannot establish
the connection to the command reception port (1024 or 9100) during LPR connection.
