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.

• LPR: 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 LPR.
