After Changing the IP Address (Changing the Port) (Only for LBP5050N)

Content Id: 8200107300


Solution

If you changed the IP address or name of the printer (the DNS name to be registered on the DNS server), you need to change the port to be used.

If you are using Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003, change the port to be used using the following procedure.

Caution

If you are using Windows Vista, you cannot use Standard TCP/IP Port to be created here. See the following and perform "Auto Setup" after uninstalling the printer driver.
