Installing by Specifying a Port or IP Address

You can manually specify the port or IP address to use for network connected or locally connected devices and install the driver. Install according to this procedure when you cannot automatically discover a device on the network or when unique settings are required.
As well as using an existing port, you can add a port.

Notes and Warnings Regarding Installation
Confirm the port to be specified
Specify a WSD port, standard TCP/IP port, network printer port, or local port. You can specify an already registered port. You can select a temporary port ([LPT1] etc.) and set it after installation is complete.
Confirm the host name, name, or IP address of the device (if adding a WSD port or a standard TCP/IP port).
If you are installing by adding a WSD port or a standard TCP/IP port, you need to enter the host name, name, or IP address of the device. For the host name or name of the device, use the name by which the device is known on the network. If you do not know the name or value to be specified, check with your network administrator.
When starting the computer, logon as a member of Administrators.
