This chapter explains how to set up LPR port and IPP port printing in Windows*1 (Windows 
95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 
Server 2003 environment).
When installing the KX-P7310 software, refer to “Contents of the Printer Software” on page 5.
■Selecting the Setup Method
When setting up printing with printer software provided, you can select Quick Printer Setup 
or Custom Printer Setup.
Quick Printer Setup
Enables an easy set up method to print directly from each computer. It must be set up on each 
computer using the CD-ROM provided (refer to “Printing directly from a computer” on page 4).
Custom Printer Setup
Supports setting up printing through a shared computer (server) (refer to “Printing through the 
shared computer (server)” on page 4) or set up printing directly from each computer (refer to 
“Printing directly from a computer” on page 4). A shared folder can be created to set up a 
client or another computer when configuring the first or printer server computer. Then the 
client or another computers can be automatically set up using the shared folder to select the 
printing method: printing through a shared computer or printing directly from each computer.

There are two methods of network printing.
• Printing directly from a computer
• Printing through a shared computer (server)
You may need to consult with your network administrator which to select.
■Printing directly from a computer
The computer's print data is transferred directly to the printer. This method is recommended 
for a small network and has the advantage of faster printing with less network traffic.
■Printing through the shared computer (server)
The print data is transferred to the print server (the shared computer), then it is transferred 
from the print server to the printer. This method is recommended for larger networks because 
it lets the print server manage the data flow.
