A network technician is setting up a Standard TCP/IP Port connection on a centralized Windows print server for a newly installed network multifunction device (MFD). The organization requires standard, unformatted data stream printing while ensuring the print server can automatically track consumable levels and hardware status alerts. Which of the following port parameters and features should the technician configure on the server? (Select TWO.)
- Configure the printer port to use RAW protocol over TCP port 9100.Answer
- Enable SNMP Status Enabled within the port configuration properties.Answer
- CSet the port transmission protocol to LPR over UDP port 443.
- DAssign an APIPA address to the MFD interface to ensure proper subnet routing.
- EDisable bidirectional communication support within the printer driver properties.
Answer
The technician should configure the port protocol to RAW over TCP port 9100 and enable SNMP Status Enabled in the port configuration settings.
Configuring the port to RAW protocol on TCP port 9100 provides the standard data path for Windows network print jobs without requiring LPD/LPR spooling queue identifiers. Enabling SNMP status monitoring allows the server to query device health, paper states, and toner levels continuously.
