About [Detailed Settings]
You can select the port type.
[MFNP Port] (only for IPv4 environment)
This is a port that enables automatic detection of the printer's IP address. Even if the IP address of the printer is changed, the connection between the printer and computer will be maintained, provided that they belong to the same subnet. Therefore, you do not need to add a new port every time the IP address is changed. If you are using the printer in an IPv4 environment, choose this setting.
[Standard TCP/IP Port]
This is a standard Windows port. Whenever the IP address of the printer is changed, a new port must be added.
