Note: Due to the network environment, there is a probability that the printer cannot be searched. In this case, it is recommended to add the printer manually

First, you need to obtain the printer's IP address on the printer's touch screen (see Obtaining the Printer IP Address). Open the printer settings dialog box, click the "New" button, enter the IP address, and click the "Add" button.
If the printer is successfully detected, it will be added to Printer list. If you cannot connect to the target printer, please check the network settings.
Delete printer
Historical printer information is stored in the printer list. If there is an invalid printer in the list, you can delete it in the printer management; open the printer settings dialog box, select the printer, click the delete button, and confirm as prompted.
Manage printer's history slices
In the printer settings box, select a printer and click the "Refresh Slices" button. The historical slices stored on the selected printer will be listed.
