Specifying Port Settings for the TCP/IP Environment
When you have installed the printer driver via a network and specified a temporary port (not the port you are going to use), specify the port settings by following the procedure below. Check these settings also when data cannot be transmitted via the network. The port settings require the machine's IP address. Check the machine's IP address on the control panel display or by printing the USER'S DATA LIST.
