Assigning the TCP/IP direct print port to the printer driver
You must use a printer driver which is configured to output print data to a TCP/IP direct print port to send document
data directly to a RISO printer on the TCP/IP communication network.
You have only to change the current printer port of the desired printer driver to a desired network print port following
the procedure below.
Important!:
• If you are using the RISO-Print port in Windows, the TCP/IP direct print port should be created in your computer
using the RISO-PRINT before this operation.
• This procedure is not necessary when using the Windows standard LPR port or Standard TCP/IP Port.
Note:
• When a desired printer driver is not installed in your computer yet, you must install the desired printer driver pro-
gram from the corresponding software CD-ROM referring to the user's guide for the printer driver.
