Installing by Specifying a Port or IP Address

You can manually specify the port or IP address to use for network connected or locally connected devices and install the driver. Install according to this procedure when you cannot discover a device on the network or when unique settings are required.

As well as using an existing port, you can add a new port.

Prerequisites

System Requirements

Notes and Warnings Regarding Installation

Confirm the port to be specified

Specify a standard TCP/IP port or a local port. You can specify an already registered port. You can select a temporary port ([LPT1] etc.) and set it after installation is complete.

Confirm the name and IP address of the device (if adding a standard TCP/IP port).

You must enter the device name and IP address when adding a standard TCP/IP port and installing. For the name of the device, use the name by which the device is known on the network. If you do not know the device name or IP address, check with your network administrator.

Confirm the queue specified for each port (if the target device is shown in the following).

If an optional external print server unit is attached to the target device, after selecting the port, you must specify the queue. Click "Open details," and confirm the queue corresponding to the selected port.

Open details

Specify the queues corresponding to the port.

For LPR:

For Windows TCP/IP, enter a Print, Hold, and Direct queue name in the [Queue Name] column.

For RAW:

The queue to be specified is determined by the port number.

9100: Print, Hold, or Direct

9101: Direct queue

9102: Print queue

9103: Hold queue

For SMB:

When you select the device from the network tree, three queues are displayed. Select one from among the displayed queues.

For NetWare:

Depending on the device you are using, turn the banner setting off.

When starting the computer, log on as a user with administrator privileges.
