TCP/IP (LPD or Port9100) Environments
System configuration
As the machine supports the LPD and Port9100 protocol, you can print directly from a Windows computer.
When printing from Windows NT4.0/Windows 2000/Windows XP/Windows Server 2003/Windows Vista computers through the LPD port, use the OS standard LPR port.
When printing through Port9100, change the necessary settings on the computers. The transport protocol for LPD and Port9100 can be TCP/IP.
You will also need to set up the IP address on the machine and the Windows computers.
NOTE: Windows NT 4.0 does not support printing through Port9100.
