During the Printer DCA installation, the Printer DCA will attempt to
establish basic communication with the central server using either
HTTPS (default) or HTTP (secondary). Proxy settings can also be
configured during installation, or at any time afterwards. If
communication with the server is successful during installation, it is
not necessary to change the communication method, port, or proxy
settings.
There are two methods the Printer DCA can use to send information
to the central server: HTTPS and HTTP. During installation, the
Printer DCA will attempt to establish communication with the
central server, first, with HTTPS (port 443), and if that fails, HTTP
(port 80). If you don't use the default port for your chosen method
of communication, you will need to change this in the Printer DCA.
You can change the communication method and port at any time.
To change the Printer DCA communication method and port:
1. Under the Communication tab of the Printer DCA, in the
Communication Method area, type in the protocol, followed
by the hostname.
