Installing by Discovering Devices on a Network
You can search for devices on TCP/IP networks when installing the driver.
During installation, the configuration profile and device functions corresponding to the printer model are automatically set. You can also change or import a configuration profile if necessary.
NOTEFor network environments other than TCP/IP, refer to the procedure for installing by specifying a port or IP address.
If you do not know the network environment you are using, check with your network administrator.
