Using the Standard TCP/IP Port

This section explains how to install the printer driver (TCP/IP) and set up the Standard TCP/IP Port.

Important

  • Only administrators can perform this installation. Log on as a member of the Administrators group.

  • For Windows XP and Windows Server 2003/2003 R2, the Standard TCP/IP Port is unavailable in an IPv6 environment. In such a case, use the port with IPv4 or use the SmartDeviceMonitor for Client port.
