Configuring the TCP/IP Printer Port in
Windows 2000/XP
By default, your printer is installed on LPT1 — the physical printer port
of your computer. To print over the network, you must now install a
virtual port, and tell Windows to print over the virtual printer port rather
than the physical port.
1. Open the Printers folder.
Windows 2000: from the Start button, select Setting and click
Printers.
Windows XP: from the Start button, select Printers and Faxes.
2. In the Printers folder, right-click the Tally T8006e printer you just
installed and select Properties.
3. In the Printer Properties window, select the Ports tab.
4. Click the Add Port button to open the Printer Ports window.
5. In the Printer Ports window, select Standard TCP/IP Port to start
the Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port Wizard. Click Next to begin
the Wizard.
6. Enter the IP address or network name of the printer. This will also be
used as the Port Name of the printer. Click Next to continue.
7. If the printer was found on the network, the Wizard will display the
network characteristics of the printer. Verify that the settings are cor-
rect and click Finish to complete the Add Standard TCP/IP Printer
Port Wizard.
8. Click Close to close the Printer Ports window.
9. In the Tally T8006e Properties window, click Close to complete the
printer port installation.
