Using the Ethernet Card

Note:

If no port is designated for port name, the program assumes LPT1. If the printer is on a different port and no port name is given, the print files are sent to a nonexistant device with your card’s serial number on LPT1.

3.Open the OS/2 directory on your CD-ROM drive and go to the REDIRECT directory for your network protocol:

◗For TCP/IP, type CD TCPIP\REDIRECT and press

Enter.

◗For NetBEUI, type CD NETBEUI\REDIRECT and press Enter.

4.Copy the redirection files to your root directory.

◗For TCP/IP, copy RPRINT.EXE and RSTAT.EXE

◗For NetBEUI, copy RPRINT3.EXE and RSTAT3.EXE

5.Edit the STARTUP.CMD file in your root directory to include the RPRINT command as the last line in the file.

◗For TCP/IP, type the following:

RPRINT <card serial number> </port name>

◗For NetBEUI, type the following:

RPRINT3 <card serial number> </port name>

6.Repeat step 5 for each port you want to redirect.

7.Reboot the workstation.

All printed output spooled to the workstation is redirected to the EPSON Stylus COLOR 850 printer specified in the STARTUP.CMD entry.

Obtaining Printer Status for Redirected Ports

You can obtain printer status for each redirected port on your workstation by typing the RSTAT command appropriate to your network protocol at the OS/2 command line:

◗For TCP/IP, type RSTAT

◗For NetBEUI, type RSTAT3
