Roles of Port1 to Port3

In the socket server function of TCP/IP, either of the following connection methods can be used.

The ports to be used and their roles change depending on the connection method and communication protocol.

Two-port connection

•	If AEP mode is enabled (initial value)

Port1 and Port3 can be used for both receiving print data and returning the product status. Port2 cannot be used.

•	If AEP mode is disabled

Port1 is used for receiving print data, and Port2 is used for returning the product status.

Two-port connection is available when the communication protocol is Status4.

One-port connection

One port is used for both receiving print data and returning the product status.

When the communication protocol is Status4, Port3 is used.

When the communication protocol is Status3 or Status5, Port1 or Port3 is used.

• AEP does not support Status3, Status4 and Status5 protocols.

The setting items are as follows:

[Port1]

Set the port number for Port1.

While in the two-port connection in AEP mode, this port can be used for both receiving print data and returning the product status.

If AEP mode is disabled, and while in the two-port connection of Status4, this port is used for receiving print data. While in the one-port connection of Status3/Status5, this port is used for both receiving print data and returning the product status.

The setting range is from 1 to 65535.

• Each port (1, 2 and 3) must be set to different values. • Set a value other than 20, 21, 22, 53, 80, 123, 161, 443, 465, 515, 546, 547, 587, 8080, 8883, or 19541. These values duplicate other port numbers, so that correct communications would be impossible.

• AEP does not support Status3, Status4 and Status5 protocols.

[Port2]

Set the port number for Port2.

For the two-port connection of Status4, this port is used for returning the product status.

The setting range is from 1 to 65535.

• Each port (1, 2 and 3) must be set to different values. • Set a value other than 20, 21, 22, 53, 80, 123, 161, 443, 465, 515, 546, 547, 587, 8080, 8883, or 19541. These values duplicate other port numbers, so that correct communications would be impossible.

• This setting is disabled when AEP mode is enabled.

[Port3]

Set the port number for Port3.

While in the two-port connection in AEP mode, this port can be used for both receiving print data and returning the product status.

If AEP mode is disabled, and while in the one-port connection of Status3/Status4/Status5, this port is used for both receiving print data and returning the product status.

The setting range is from 1 to 65535.

• Each port (1, 2 and 3) must be set to different values. • Set a value other than 20, 21, 22, 53, 80, 123, 161, 443, 465, 515, 546, 547, 587, 8080, 8883, or 19541. These values duplicate other port numbers, so that correct communications would be impossible.

• You can change the return status format of Port3 to legacy status by enabling [Legacy Status for Port 9100]. • AEP does not support Status3, Status4 and Status5 protocols.

[Flow Control]
