Configuring serial ports
The Port Configuration utility allows you to configure the SPEED serial ports you have installed on your system. To do this proceed as follows:
Note
If you want to perform transparent printing from any of the terminals attached to your system, you need to check the contents of the printcap.spd file to see if the terminal type you are using is supported. To do this proceed as follows:
1.Using a text editor, go to the /etc directory and open the file called printcap.spd
2.Check the contents of the printcap.spd file to see if the terminal type you are using is supported. See page 129 in Appendix A : Transparent printing for the syntax of the entries in this file.
3.If the terminal type you are using is not supported, add an entry for the new terminal type (including the type, transparent print ON and transparent print OFF strings) to the printcap.spd file (page 131). See the user guide for your terminal for details of the entries required.
