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.
If the device is connected during installation, a configuration profile corresponding to the printer model is set. You can also change or import the configuration profile if necessary.
A device is installed for each applied configuration profile. You can also change the number of devices during installation to simultaneously install multiple devices to which the same configuration profile is applied.
Prerequisites
Confirm the port to be specified.
Specify a network connection port (standard TCP/IP port or WSD 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 name or IP address of the device (if adding a standard TCP/IP port or WSD port).
If you are installing by adding a network connection port (standard TCP/IP port or WSD port), you need to enter the name (or host name) and 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 value to set, check with your network administrator.
When starting the computer, log on as a user with administrator privileges.

If necessary, change the number of devices to be installed in [Devices] → click [Next].
You can change the number of devices for each configuration profile selected in step 6.
When you click [Next], the change to [Devices] is applied to [Current Printer] and [Number of Printers to Set].
[Current Printer] shows which number device is currently being set.
For an example of the number of devices being applied to [Current Printer]/[Number of Printers to Set], click and refer to the subsequent "Open details."
An example where the following two configuration profiles are selected and the number of devices is changed is shown below.
Configuration profile A: changing from one device to three devices
Configuration profile B: one device
(1) For the devices to which configuration profile A is applied, the following values are initially displayed.
[Current Printer]: 1 / [Number of Printers to Set]: 2
(2) Change [Devices] from 1 to 3 → click [Next].
The information for devices to which configuration profile A is applied is updated as follows.
[Current Printer]: 2 / [Number of Printers to Set]: 4
