Using the WSD port

This section explains installation when using the WSD port.

The WSD port can be used only under Windows Vista.
To install under Windows Vista, you must have an account that has Manage Printers permission. Log on as an Administrator.
If the machine is connected using the WSD port, bi-directional communication is not possible. For details about bi-directional communication, see "Making Option Settings for the Printer".
You can connect to the machine only if both the machine and computer are on the same network segment, or Windows Vista "Network discovery" is enabled. For details, see Windows Help.

The [Network] window appears, and the device search begins automatically.
Rightclick the machine's icon, and then click [Install].
If the [User Account Control] dialog box appears, click [Continue].

The port name that follows "WSD" uses random character strings. It cannot be changed freely.
