Changing to a Standard TCP/IP Port

This explains the procedure for changing the port used by a device connected by a network to a standard TCP/IP port. If you temporarily set a port for the device when installing the driver, you can change it to the correct port by following this procedure.

Prerequisites

Confirm that the following conditions are satisfied. Complete the preparation operations.
Selecting [Custom] to Install
Specify a temporary port ([LPT1] etc.) and install the driver with [Custom].
Confirm the device name and IP address
You must enter the device name and IP address when adding a standard TCP/IP port. 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
LPR: The protocol commonly used by TCP/IP.
Raw: A protocol that can be used with Windows. It transmits data at a higher speed than LPR.
When starting the computer, logon as a member of Administrators.
