[Canon MFNP Port]
The port that can automatically detect the IP address of the printer.
Even if the IP address of the printer changes, the port does not have to be changed because a new IP address is detected automatically when the printer and computer are on the same subnet.
MFNP Port only supports IPv4. (It does not support IPv6.)
This option does not appear if you install the printer driver using a method other than Easy Installation. (You cannot specify MFNP Port.)
[Standard TCP/IP Port]
TCP/IP Port that is standard with Windows.
If the IP address of the printer is changed, the port to be used should be changed.

Operation procedures vary depending on the type of port to be configured.
