Chapter 15 Complete Command List

•off. no job control; no SOJ/EOJ commands. The printer prints faster in off mode.

•standard. (the default) traditional job control with immediate acknowledgements of SOJ/EOJ commands.

•enhanced. job control with EOJ acknowledgements held off by the printer until job is fully printed. The printer prints slower in enhanced mode.

To monitor the printer, use the telnet command “lpstat.” The normal status reported on the first line of the lpstat response is the status of the queue (LPQ) within the NIC. The status reported does not reflect the state of the print job once it has been sent from the NIC to the printer.

The new line at the bottom of the lpstate response labeled “printer job:” can report one of two status values:

a.In Progress. A job in the printer is not yet finished.b.Done. There are no jobs in the printer. All previous jobs are finished.Example: store pserver opts jobsecurity jobtimeout 5

If jobsecurity is disabled, any user can cancel queued jobs on the NIC including guest users. If jobtimeout is set to some value other than 0, the NIC will only wait this amount of seconds when getting printer feedback. This is only used if you have a logpath port and type set on a particular destination.

store pserver tcpsocket <tcp-port>port <new-tcp-port> Example: store pserver tcpsocket 4000 port 5000

Change a pre-defined TCP port number (<tcp-port>) on the NIC to a new TCP port number (<new-tcp-port>). The default number is 9100 for prn.

store pserver tcpsocket <tcp-port> dest <dest> Example: store pserver tcpsocket 5000 dest d1prn

Assign a pre-defined TCP port number (<tcp-port>) to a particular destination (<dest>) on the NIC. Therefore, if you are using a print method that sends jobs directly to a TCP port number, you still have the option to process the job data through this destination setting.
