FAQs & Troubleshooting |
Using the Communication settings (for Windows)
To use the Communication settings, please follow the steps below:
The [Communication Settings] window appears.
For information on items in the Communication settings window, refer to the following:
> Wired LAN Tab (TD-4420DN/4520DN/4550NWB), Wireless LAN Tab (TD-4550NWB)
> Wireless Direct Tab (TD-4550DNWB)
> Applying Setting Changes to Multiple Printers
Settings are not applied to the printer if [Exit] is clicked without clicking the [Apply] button after changing the settings.
Clicking [Apply] applies all settings in all tabs to the printer.
If the [Disable these settings] check box is selected, the settings in that tab are not applied.
The following information is not saved with the command file:
Imports the settings from the computer.
Imports the exported file and applies the settings to the printer.
Click [Browse] and select the file you want to import. The settings in the selected file appear in the settings display/change area.
All settings, such as wireless settings or TCP/IP settings, can be imported, except for node names.
Only profiles that are compatible with the selected printer can be imported.
Saves the current settings in a file.
Exported files are not encrypted.
Automatically restart the printer after applying new settings
If this check box is selected, the printer automatically restarts after communication settings are applied.
If this check box is cleared, you must restart the printer manually.
When configuring multiple printers, you can reduce the time needed to change settings by clearing this check box. In this case, we recommend selecting this check box when configuring the first printer so that you can confirm that each setting is operating as intended.
If this check box is selected and a printer is connected to the computer, the printer is automatically detected and the printer’s current settings are displayed in [Current Status].
If the connected printer is different from the one shown in the [Printer] drop-down list, the settings available on all tabs change to match the connected printer.

You can specify settings only when EAP-MD5, EAP-FAST, PEAP, EAP-TTLS, or EAP-TLS is selected as the authentication method. In addition, with EAP-TLS, it is not necessary to register a password, but a client certificate must be registered. To register a certificate, connect to the printer from a web browser, and then specify the certificate. Installation of the authentication certificate can also be performed with the Printer Setting Tool by going to the menu bar: [File] > [Install Certificates].

When performing certificate verification with EAP-FAST, PEAP, EAP-TTLS or EAP-TLS authentication methods, the certificate cannot be specified from the Printer Setting Tool. After the printer is configured to connect to the network, specify the certificate by accessing the printer from a web browser. Installation of the authentication certificate can also be performed with the Printer Setting Tool by going to the menu bar: [File] > [Install Certificates].
You can specify a setting only when WEP is selected as the encryption mode.
You can specify a setting only when WPA/WPA2-PSK is selected as the authentication method.
