UNIX TCP/IP

UNIX TCP/IP Environments

System configuration

The machine uses the Line Printer Daemon Protocol (LPD) that supports TCP/IP as the transport protocol. With the LPD, use the machine as a UNIX network printer.

The LPD supports spool mode, this is where print jobs from clients are spooled once before output. It also supports non-spool mode, this is where print jobs are output sequentially, without spooling.

Target computers

The target computers are as follows.

• Workstation or personal computer with RFC 1179 Line Printer Daemon Protocol

Interface

The LPD is available on the following interfaces:

Ethernet 100Base-TX

Ethernet 10Base-T

The applicable frame types conform to Ethernet II (Ethernet interface).

UNIX TCP/IP Installation

This section explains how to install the machine in a UNIX TCP/IP environment.

Installation Procedure

There are three stages.

Network Communication Setup

The machine needs to be set up and configured for TCP/IP.

Computer Setup

The computer OS needs to be configured for the machine.

Test Print

A print job should be submitted to make sure that the machine has been installed and configured correctly.

Network Communication Setup

Use this procedure to set up the network communication parameters of the machine.

NOTE: Keep the SNMP port enabled while you use the machine on the TCP/IP network.

NOTE: Some of the configuration options for this protocol are only available from CentreWare Internet Services. Refer to CentreWare Internet Services on page 149.

Follow the steps below to establish TCP/IP.

1.Connect the machine to the network.
