The TCP port and URL path details are related to the make and model of the printer you are using. Follow the guide below for more information.

When connecting your printer's scanner device via Princh you will have the option to select between different connection types. Connecting using an Encrypted eSCL connection (https) is the recommended connection type. Before you can connect to the scanner device, you may need to configure some native printer settings.
