Setting and Changing method of printer driver port
- Connecting to a TCP/IP Network:
All computers that use the machine must have TCP/IP client software installed and must be enabled for TCP/IP network use. For details, see the manuals provided with the operating system.
- Installing the Printer Driver and Specifying the Machine Destination Setting:
To print from a computer, you must install a printer driver and specify a setting for the machine destination. The machine destination setting differs depending on the print application used for printing. Use the following information as a guide to determine the print application you are using, and then perform the necessary operations.
- LPD: This is the print application generally used with TCP/IP.
- Raw: This is a print application used with Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista. It can print at higher speeds than LPD.
