Adding a port to an existing printer

Use this procedure to add a port after you have installed the printer.

1.Select your printer:

a. From the Start menu, select Settings, then click Printers.

bIn the Printers window, right-mouse click on your printer.

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.

a.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 840.

b.In the Name/Address ﬁeld, enter the IP address or DNS name of the printer (for example, 192.1.1.2), and click OK.

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.

c.Click OK.

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