Brother NC6100H

1 - 3 UNIX PRINTING

The actual format of the entry may vary depending on your system,

check your system documentation and also note the format of other

entries in the /etc/hosts file.

In any case, the node name in the /etc/hosts file must match the

node name in the /etc/printcap file.

Some systems such as HP-UX and AIX allow you to enter the IP

address as the host name when setting up the print queue. If this is

the case, you do not need to configure the hosts file.

Choose which print server service you want to use. There are

several types of services available on Brother print servers.

Binary services pass data through unmodified and are therefore

required for PCL or PostScript rasterized graphics printouts.

Text services add a carriage return at the end of each line for

proper formatting of UNIX text files (which end in linefeed and

do not have carriage returns). The text service can also be used

for non-rasterized graphics, such as ASCII PostScript graphics

or many types of PCL graphics.

Choose one of the available services (a service name will be

used in step 3):

BINARY_P1 Binary data

TEXT_P1 Text data (CR added)

You may set up multiple print queues on your UNIX host

computer for the same print server, each one with a different

service name (for example, one queue for binary graphics jobs

and one for text jobs).

The node name in this file does not necessarily need to be

the same as the one that is actually configured into the

Brother print server (the name that appears on the printer

settings page), however, it is good practice to make the

names the same. Some operating systems, such as HP-UX,

do not accept the "_" character in the default name, for these

systems you must use a different name).
