NEC 1700 Series, 1765 manual Identify the Printer, Print a Document

Identify the Printer

This section describes an example of setting the printer for a network which uses LAN Manager. For more information see the on-line help manual that came with your LAN Manager system. The directions in this section assume that you are in the NECPR directory that you created in the previous section.

1.Use the ADDPORT command to create a printer port for each Silentwriter.

ADDPORT <port name>

For example,

ADDPORT LMPORT05

If the command executes successfully, you will see this message.

Data successfully added

Application : PM_SPOLLER_PORT

Key	:	\PIPE\<port name>
Date	:	;

2.Create a text file named NECPR.INI in the c:\NECPR directory. Each line in the text file has the format

NECPR<MAC address> <port name>

For example,

NECPRA092901705 LMPORT05

3.Use the REMPRT3 command to start remote print service.

REMPRT3 @NECPR.INI

If the command executes successfully, you will see this message.

ITC REMOTE PRINT service starting

(C)Copyright ITC H. Bollman Manufacturers 1993. Ver 3.9 ITC REMOTE PRINT service for <port name> started successfully.

4.If you want to share the Silentwriter across the network, use the NET SHARE command. After you enter the NET SHARE command, a prompt appears to ask if you want to create a queue. Type “y” at the prompt to confirm that you want to create a queue.

NET SHARE

<share name>=\PIPE\<port name> /PRINT

For example,

NET SHARE LMPRNT05=\PIPE\LMPORT05

/PRINT

5.To use the network printer, enter the NET USE command.

NET USE <device>

\\<server name>\<share name>

For example,

NET USE LPT1 \\LMSERVER\LMPRNT05

You can also use the NET USE command without any parameters to display network resources. For example,

NET USE

Print a Document

To print a document use the PRINT command.

PRINT /D:<device> <filename>

For example,

PRINT /D:LPT1 CONFIG.SYS or

PRINT CONFIG.SYS

The default device is LPT1.
