You may now use the printer attached to the appropriate port on the SpotLine M110 terminal.

For example:

lp -d LocalQName /etc/hosts

should print the file /etc/hosts on the printer referred to in LocalQName.

5.3 Other Unix Versions

The SpotLine family of terminals will also work equally well with other versions of UNIX, such as those from DEC or Hewlett Packard systems.

5.3.1 Use as a Serial Terminal

It is recommended that you use the “Ansi/SCO” emulation mode for the terminal. You can integrate the required termcap and terminfo parameters from the files scoansi.tc and scoansi.ti available on the www.SpotLine.com website.

The file scoansi.ti file needs to be compiled with your UNIX tic program (Terminfo compiler) to create the necessary terminfo entries. This compilation must take place under root level administration.

For example:

tic scoansi.ti

To use your SpotLine terminal with the standard UNIX utilities, it is necessary to declare it as a n Ansi device in your environment variables, or termcap and terminfo files.
