Adding a Printer Port 16


On initial access to the Add Port dialog box, whatever you type in the Port Name
text box is automatically copied to the IP Address text box. The port name and IP
address can be the same or they can be different. However, If they are different, then
first click the cursor in the IP Address text box and type it. Then click the cursor in
the Port Name text box and type it.
9
Type the Internet Protocol Address for the port.
This address is either the unique host name or the dot notation identifier of the net-
work device.
If an invalid or previously used IP address (host name or dot notation identifier) is
given, the following message displays:
The port address “IP_Address”
could not be resolved on this computer. Accept it any-
way?
You must do one of the following:
a Select No and type another valid IP address (this is what we recommend).
b Select Yes and add this address in the Network Host Name file on you computer
before you send any print jobs to the port. If a print job is sent to the port before
the address is entered in the Network Host Name file, printing of the job fails.
c Select Cancel to abort adding the port and to exit from the Add Port dialog box.

Network Host Name file and must be unique.
Dot Notation
Identifier A unique set of four numbers, separated by periods, which identifies a
device on the Internet (for example 191.45.105.227).
