Bi-Directional Driver Support

Supported Operating Systems

Bi-Directional drivers are supported for the following Microsoft Operating Systems:

Windows 95	Windows NT 4.0 (Workstation, Server, Enterprise Server)
Windows 98	Windows 2000 (Professional, Server, Advanced Server)
Windows Me	Windows XP (Home, Professional)
	Windows .NET (Server, Enterprise Server)

Client-Based Implementations

Bi-Directional drivers installed on a client workstation communicate with Xerox Systems via the following methods:

Device Settings	SNMP over TCP/IP
Job Monitoring	SNMP over TCP/IP
Job History	SNMP over TCP/IP
Device Status	SNMP over TCP/IP
Device Configuration	Microsoft Point and Print functionality

Server-Based Implementations

Bi-Directional drivers installed on a server communicate with Xerox Systems via SNMP over TCP/IP or SNMP over IPX/SPX.

The data available in server-based drivers will not update on a regular basis. When configuration changes are made, the driver must be reopened to detect the changes.
