<Column> About RISO-PRINT

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.

Open the [Properties] dialog box of

the desired printer driver.
