identified in the drop down.  

 

For USB connections, do not choose the port ‘Printer_USB-001+’. The proper port will also have 
the printer name in the description. 

 

All other ports will update automatically, it is only necessary to do this for one queue.

If connected via network, once TCP/IP is selected, the software will poll your network for available 
printers. Select the proper IColor printer. Note that the IP address of the printer is displayed.  

 

Be sure to set a static IP address for your printer so that the IP address does not change later. If 
this happens, you will have to repeat this step.
