Printing via LPD
The following describes how to print using TCP/IP’s LPD protocol (lpr, lp commands). Please refer to your workstation’s manual for the details of the lpr and lp commands. In the following explanation, printing of a print file “test.prn” using the printer name “OP8c_lp” is used as an example.
About LPD
LPD (Line Printer Daemon) is the protocol most commonly used for printing over TCP/IP to a network printer.
About logical printers
The Fast EtherNet includes three logical printers.
In order to print a file created using the printer driver, an “lp” logical printer must be used for printing.
In order to print a text file of the Shift JIS Kanji code, an “sjis” logical printer must be used for printing.
In order to print a text file of the EUC Kanji code, an “euc” logical printer must be used for the printing.

“sjis” and “euc” function only as postscript printers. They cannot be used with other printers.
