Communication Settings

  1. Apply settings to the first printer.
    For details, see "Using the Communication Settings (for Windows)".
  2. Disconnect the first printer from the computer, and then connect the second printer to the computer using a USB cable.
  3. Select the newly connected printer from the Printer drop-down list in the Communication Settings of the Printer Setting Tool.
    If the [Automatically detects the connected printer, and retrieves the current settings] in the Option Settings dialog box is selected, the printer connected with the USB cable is automatically selected.
  4. Click Apply.
    (For Wireless LAN models) We recommend enabling [Automatically restart the printer after applying new settings] when configuring the first printer so that you can confirm that the printer can be correctly connected to the wireless access point/router with the new settings.
    The same settings that were applied to the first printer are applied to the second printer.
  5. Repeat these steps for all printers whose settings you want to change.
    • If the IP address is set to STATIC, the printer's IP address is changed to the same address as the first printer. Change the IP address if needed.
    • The same settings can be applied to another computer by clicking File > Import, and then selecting the exported settings file.
