3.1PRINTING VIA ETHERNET

Printers can be connected to the Ethernet interface of the MICRO PANEL. The printer can either be addressed via an enabled printer of a Windows PC or directly addressed via the RAW or LPR protocols.

Notes:

Only printers that support the PCL protocol can be connected. PCL is a language developed by

HPwhich, however, is also supported by other printer manufacturers.

If the following registry entry is set (not equal 0), the printer message «Print job ... on queue ...

has finished printing.» will not be displayed:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Printers] "NoNotifyWhenPrinted" = dword:1

Access to enabled printer of a Windows computer

All printouts are carried out via the selected Windows PC. The procedure and the necessary settings and syntax required for printer selection are described in the chapter Access to PC.

RAW or LPR protocol

If the printer or printer server supports printing using the RAW or LPR protocols, the MICRO PANEL can activate the printer directly. This makes it unnecessary to have a computer with the Windows operating system in the network.

Printer selection:

Examples:

RAW:«IP address or network name»:«port number»

RAW:192.168.1.1

LPR:«IP address or network name»/«port name»

LPR:192.168.1.1/P2

Select under «IP Address or Network Name» the appropriate IP address or network name of the printer or printer server (see also chapter Name resolution). The port number or port name entry is optional, and port number 9100 or port name P1 is used if no entry is made. Refer here to the information provided with your printer or printer server.
