How to Install a Printer Driver [Use IPP port for Mac version]   (Tips No.01596)

What is an IPP port?

IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) allows you to print data on the MFP in a remote location via the Internet.

To set the IPP port, you need the host name or IP address information of the MFP at a remote location. (The MFP must support IPP.)

Note

  • ●Depending on the product you are using, PS expansion kit may be required. See the Product Lineup for details.

Procedure

  • ● The images are operations that explain how to print the test page in the case of Mac OS 11.1. They may be different, depending on the Mac OS version and driver type.
  • ● We recommend downloading and using the latest driver from the website instead of using the driver in the CD-ROM bundled in the MFP.
