Phaser 840


Adding a port to an existing printer

Use this procedure to add a port for a printer when you have already installed the driver.

  1. Select your printer driver:
    1. From the Start menu, select Settings.
    2. From the Settings menu, select Printers.
    3. In the Printers window, right-mouse click on your printer driver.
  2. From the pop-up menu, choose Properties.
  3. When the properties dialog for the printer is displayed, click Details.
  4. Click Add Port, then select Other.
  5. Highlight PhaserPort and click OK; this displays the Add PhaserPort dialog.
    1. In the Description field, enter a name for the port (this can be the printer name/model, location, or any other descriptive name of your choice), such as Phaser 740.
    2. In the Name/Address field, enter the IP address or DNS name of the printer (for example, 192.1.1.2), and click OK.
    3. If you don't know the printer's IP address or DNS name, click Browse to display a list of printers on the network. Double-click the printer you want; PhaserPort automatically enters the information into the Add PhaserPort dialog. To search the network again, click Refresh; to narrow down the search by using subnets, click Advanced.

  6. Click OK again to apply the changes; the printer driver is now configured to use your new PhaserPort.
