3.When the “Installing Print Monitor” screen displays again, indicating the path to the print monitor, click OK.

4.When the “Printer Ports” screen displays, select ”XES Net Port”, click New Port… and, when prompted, click OK.

5.When the “XES Net Port Dialog” displays, enter the TCP/IP address of the printer’s Controller in the entry field and click OK.

6.Accept the default Timeout value on the displayed “Configuration” dialog and click OK.
