Using a Print Server in Windows
Use a print server to install the printer driver.
Double-click the shared printer on the print server, and follow the instructions on the screen to install the
printer driver.
Changing the Port Type and Number (Windows)
● If the machine is configured not to use LPD or RAW, or if the port number was changed, the settings on the
computer may also have to be changed.
If the IP Address of the Machine Is Changed after Installing the Printer Driver
● In Windows, the required action depends on the port you are using.
- If you are using an MFNP port, the connection is maintained as long as the machine and computer belong
to the same subnet, so no action is required on the computer.
- If you are using a standard TCP/IP port, you must add a new port.
If you do not know which port is being used, see the following:
Viewing the Printer Port(P. 664)

manual of the driver at the online manual site.
