This explains the procedure for changing the port used by a device connected to a network.
If you temporarily set a port of the device when installing the driver, change it to a correct port by following this procedure.
Here, the method for creating a Raw or LPR port using "Standard TCP/IP Port" is explained.
Prerequisites
Driver installation
Confirm the name or IP address of the device (if adding a standard TCP/IP port).
To add a standard TCP/IP port, you need to enter the name or IP address of the device. 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.
Determining to protocol to use
Raw: A protocol that can be used with Windows. It transmits data at a higher speed than LPR.
LPR: The protocol commonly used by TCP/IP.
When starting the computer, logon as a member of Administrators.
