Port Name

  The name to identify the printers connected by TCP/IP Direct Print Utility.

  This name cannot be more than 40 characters ("\" cannot be used).

  Existing port names or port names which have been fixed by the system such as LPT1 cannot be used.


IP Address

  Consists of 4 sections (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) of numbers separated by periods where xxx are numbers from 0 to 255.  The IP address is assigned by the network administrator to identify the printers.  This field is for you to input the IP address.

  If DNS is set, you can input the host name of the printer here.  Up to 128 alphanumeric characters can be used for host name. (The name cannot contain colon and space.)

  Printer queue name used for the LPR protocol can be also assigned, following IP address.  Separate IP address or host name and printer queue name (yyy) by colon ":" - (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyy).  Up to 126 alphanumeric characters can be used for printer queue name.  (The name cannot contain colon and space.)  Port name is used as printer queue name unless printer queue name is assigned.
