How to Set the Driver Network Port Value
The XPS Card Printer Driver uses the Printer IP Address to communicate with the printer when
using a network connection. Follow these steps to view or change the IP Address that the driver
uses.
1. If needed, obtain the printer IP Address. See
How to Get the Printer IP Address.
2. Open Printer Properties. See
How to Open
Printer Properties.
3. Click the Ports tab.
4. Locate the DXPnn Standard TCP/IP Port for
this printer.
5. Click the Configure Port button to open the
Enter Network Address (XP and Vista) or
Configure Port (Windows 7) dialog.
6. The Printer Name or IP Address shows the
current IP Address of the printer (if
assigned).
7. Enter the current IP Address if needed.
8. Click Apply or Close to close the Ports dialog.
Print a sample card from the driver to
confirm printer and driver communication.
See
How to Print a Driver Sample Card.
9. Click OK or Close to close the Properties dialog
when done.
The IP address can change when the printer is powered
off and powered on, and the Address Method is DHCP.
If the IP Address method is Static, then the IP Address
is assigned using the printer LCD panel and the address
does not change.
HINTS & TIPS
If the printer changes address often and that causes
problems, ask your manager or network support person to assign a printer name, and enter the
printer name using these steps. See
How to Set Up Static IP Addressing.
The Ports tab shows the Windows "Enable Printer Pooling" checkbox. The XPS Card Printer
driver does not support pooling.
The Ports dialog shows the RAW port as 9100. The dialog allows you to change the port number
but port 9100 is always used.
