The following are the steps to set up LPR Port printing
using TCP/IP.
Step 1: Setting up TCP/IP on the computer
Step 2: Setting up TCP/IP on the printer
Step 3: Installing the printer driver and utilities
Step 1: Setting up TCP/IP on the computer
If the TCP/IP protocol is already installed on your
computer and it is configured, proceed to the next step. If
it is not installed, you need to install TCP/IP in the
operating system on the computer and configure it.
If the administrator manages the IP Address, contact him/
her to confirm the values before setting up. Be sure to
assign the unique value for the IP Address that is not
used on another device on the network. Regarding the
configuration of TCP/IP, refer to the help menu or
documentation for Windows.
Step 2: Setting up TCP/IP on the printer
You need to set the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default
Gateway for the printer. It can be set by using one of the
following three methods.
•
Using the DHCP server
•
Using the Network Setup Tool
•
Using the Printer Panel
If the administrator manages the network with DHCP
server, it will automatically assign an IP Address, Subnet
Mask and Default Gateway. These can be viewed by
printing out the configuration page (see below).
For the instructions of another method, refer to “Network”
section in the Operating Instructions (see “Using the
Manuals” on page 27).

function becomes disable automatically.
