ftp (Form feed)

The Ethernet Card will append a form feed to the end of the print job if the destination file is given the name of “FEED” or “feed.” For example, to send a text file called “txtfile” to the Ethernet Card in ASCII mode and append a formfeed, use the following ftp commands:

ascii

send txtfile feed

Ipr-Filters

Filters for lpr are controlled by the name given to the remote printer. When setting up an lpr printer entry, a name is entered for:

Cl the local printer name to be redirected

Cl the host name of the station to which the print is sent

Cl the remote printer name (name of the printer port on the remote station).

It is this last name that the Ethernet Card uses to determine which filters to use.

Many different remote printer names may be set up, all directed to the same Ethernet Card remote host, and each is given a different local printer name to be redirected. Different types of print jobs may thus be sent to different printer names, which will then all print out on the same printer, through the same Ethernet Card interface, but using different filters.
