Printer icon to start the Add Printer Wizard.
Click “Next” at the Add Printer Wizard
welcome screen.

driver as if the printer were connected to
the parallel (LPT1:) port of the PC. After the
installation, refer to the Windows 2000
Networking section of this document,
starting on page 7.
USB Installation Note: If connecting the printer via USB for the first time, make sure both the
PC and printer are powered on. Connect the USB cable to the USB port on the PC, then to the
USB port on the printer. Plug and Play will install necessary USB printing software within
Windows 2000 and allow the printer to be added properly following the steps outlined in this
document.

have an IP address, please follow the instructions in the Elite 12ppm User’s
Manual to assign one. The Port Name will be filled in automatically, but can
be changed if desired. Click Next.
• The next dialog window will ask for a Device Type. Click on the Standard
radio button and select “Generic Network Card” from the list. Click Next.
• A summary page will appear showing all the settings that were made within
the Add TCP/IP Port Wizard. Double-check these settings and click Finish.

the newly created TCP/IP port will be displayed and selected (listed by its
Port Name as entered in the TCP/IP Port Wizard).
