Configuring a Port
The Xerox TCP/IP Printer Port Wizard guides you step-by-step through the following
procedures:
■ Choosing a name for the new port
■ Identifying a printer by its DNS Name or IP Address
■ (Alternatively) Identifying a printer using the automatic Printer Discovery feature
1. Click Next to proceed with the port installation. The wizard verifies the port name and
printer address, then automatically configures the remaining port settings. Any errors
detected in printer identification are displayed in a dialog box requesting Additional
Information.
2. In the Add Xerox TCP/IP Port window:
■ Enter a unique name for the port being added in the Enter a Port Name section.
■ Enter the printer’s host name or IP Address in the Enter a Printer Name or IP
Address section.
3. Click Next.
Note
To locate Xerox printers on your local area network, select Auto Printer Discovery, then
click Refresh. The Xerox TCP/IP Port Monitor searches the network for Xerox printers
and displays them in a list. Select your desired printer from the list, then click OK.
