PCL6 V4 Printer Driver v7.0 User Guide for Windows (pdf)

Installing by Specifying a Port or IP Address
You can manually specify the port or IP address to use for network connected or locally connected devices and
install the driver. Install according to this procedure when you cannot automatically discover a device on the
network or when unique settings are required.
As well as using an existing port, you can add a port.
Prerequisites
● System Requirements(P. 16)
● Notes and Warnings Regarding Installation(P. 17)
● Conrm the port to be specied
Specify a WSD port, standard TCP/IP port, network printer port, or local port. You can specify an already
registered port. You can select a temporary port ([LPT1] etc.) and set it after installation is complete.
● Conrm the host name, name, or IP address of the device (if adding a WSD port or a standard TCP/IP port).
If you are installing by adding a WSD port or a standard TCP/IP port, you need to enter the host name, name,
or IP address of the device. For the host name or name of the device, use the name by which the device is
known on the network. If you do not know the name or value to be specied, check with your network
administrator.
● Conrm the shared printer (if adding a network printer port)
The shared printer selected when adding the port must match the device selected via the installer. Also,
conrm that the version of the driver installed in the shared printer and the version of the installer match.
Make sure to log on to the computer in which the specied shared printer is installed beforehand.
● When starting the computer, logon as a member of Administrators.
