CHAPTER 6: EPS Configuration
1.Flow control must be enabled; if any characters are lost in transmission, the entire job will likely fail and the printer may hang.
2.
3.PostScript is a “verbose” print language, and download images are frequently very large. For better printing performance, set the speed of the printer and EPS serial port as high as possible.
The SHOW PROTOCOLS APPLETALK command shows all current configuration and counters for the AppleTalk protocol handler on the EPS. SHOW QUEUE will show any currently queued or active AppleTalk print jobs. Because of the handling of AppleTalk jobs, the node shown as queued in the SHOW QUEUE display may not be the next one that ends up printing. Any AppleTalk client that has been waiting longer will gain control of the print resource, regardless of ranking in the SHOW display.
6.8 LAT Configuration
You may wish to change the EPS’s node name and/or identification string (SET/DEFINE SERVER NAME or IDENTIFICATION) to make configuration of your LAT hosts more convenient.
Depending on your network, you may also wish to change the LAT timers and limits (multicast, keepalive, retransmit limit, and node limit) to suit your site.
You can change the group codes for both the server and ports (SET SERVER GROUPS, DEFINE PORT AUTHORIZED GROUPS) to restrict access to a subset of the LAT nodes on the network.
Since the EPS’s services do not have LAT enabled by default, the EPS will not announce their names and thus the service names will be invisible to other LAT nodes. If you wish to make the services visible, use the SET SERVICE LAT ENABLED command to
You can configure your LAT hosts to use the EPS’s port names rather than the service names, so LAT access is still possible even if the service multicasts are disabled.
