Installing Using the Installer
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 automatically discover a device on the network or when unique settings are required.
As well as using an existing port, you can add a port.
Prerequisites
Confirm the port to be specified
Specify a standard TCP/IP port, network printer port, or 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 host name, name, or IP address of the device (if adding a standard TCP/IP port).
If you are installing by adding a standard TCP/IP port, you need to enter the host name, name, or IP address of the device. For the host name or name of the device, use the name by which the device is known on the network. If you do not know the name or value to be specified, check with your network administrator.
Confirm the shared printer (if adding a network printer port)
The shared printer selected when adding the port must match the device selected via the installer. Also, confirm that the version of the driver installed in the shared printer and the version of the installer match.
Make sure to log on to the computer in which the specified shared printer is installed beforehand.
When starting the computer, logon as a member of Administrators.

Different default settings can be specified for each print queue to distinguish between them when printing. However, you can assign only one port to one device when a network printer port is specified.
Set the port.
If you have entered multiple printers for one device in step 5., the port setting for the first printer is used as the default setting for the second and subsequent printers.
