Changing the Port

This explains the procedure for changing the port used by a device connected to a network.

If you temporarily set a port of the device when installing the driver, change it to a correct port by following this

procedure.

Here, the method for creating a Raw or LPR port using "Standard TCP/IP Port" is explained.

Prerequisites

● Driver installation

● Conrm the name or IP address of the device (if adding a standard TCP/IP port).

To add a standard TCP/IP port, you need to enter the name or IP address of the device. For the name of the

device, use the name by which the device is known on the network. If you do not know the device name or IP

address, check with your network administrator.
