| Solution |
In a case where you install the printer driver via network connection with a temporary port (a port not used actually), you need to specify the port settings using the following procedure.
In the following cases, you need to specify the port settings manually.
| Configure port settings on your computer when: | Action |
| Installing the printer driver using [Add Printer]. | If the installed printer driver uses a different port than the one assigned to the machine, you must configure the port to match the machine's IP address. |
| When obtaining the IP address automatically (DHCP: ON), the data transfer stops suddenly. | When the IP address is obtained automatically, there may be a case where the IP address assigned to the machine is changed if you restart the server (router). In this case, confirm the IP address configured by the machine, and change the port settings according to the IP address reconfigured by the machine. |
| Changing the IP address of the machine. | When the machine's IP address is changed, you must reconfigure the port to match the IP address of the machine. |
