Setting Up Printers

Remote Printing Using RCP

When setting up a serial port that accesses a printer using RCP, do the following:

1.Set the serial port to Printer and configure the Speed, Flow Control, Stop Bits, Parity, and Bits parameters so that they match the printer’s port settings.

2.Save your settings and restart the serial port.

3.To execute a print job, use the following syntax:

rcp <filename> <ip_address> <IOLAN_Name>:p<#>

where <#> is the IOLAN serial port number (10000 + serial port number).

Remote Printing Using Host-Based Print Handling Software

Printers connected to the IOLAN can be accessed by TCP/IP hosts using print handling software.

1.Set the serial port to TCP Sockets. Enable the Listen for connection option. On the Hardware tab, configure the Speed, Flow Control, Stop Bits, Parity, and Bits parameters so that they match the printer’s port settings.

2.Save your settings and restart the serial port.

3.The print handling software needs to know the Name of the IOLAN and the TCP Port number assigned to the printer serial port.
