Raw TCP/IP Printing

Raw TCP/IP is a printing method used to open a TCP socket-level connection over Port 9100, to stream a print-ready file to the printer's input buffer. It then closes the connection either after sensing an End Of Job character in the PDL or after expiration of a preset time-out value. Port 9100 does not require an LPR request from the computer or the use of an LPD running on the printer. Raw TCP/IP printing is selected in Windows as the Standard TCP/IP port.

Basic Settings

Notes:

•TCP/IP must be enabled before Raw TCP/IP Printing is enabled.

•Raw TCP/IP printing is selected in Windows 2000 as the Standard TCP/IP port.

•If your printer is locked, you must log in as a system administrator. For details, see Accessing CentreWare IS on page 17.

1.In CentreWare IS, click Connectivity > Protocols > Raw TCP/IP Printing.

2.Select Enabled to enable the protocol.

3.Ensure that the TCP Port Number is set to 9100 for Port 1.

Note: To emulate HP JetDirect EX Plus 3, set Port 2 to 9101 and Port 3 to 9102.

4.Select Enabled for bidirectional communication.

5.Ensure that Maximum Connections per port (1-32)for each port is set to the default value of 8.

6.Set the End of Job Timeout to the desired number of seconds between 0 and 1800 before processing a job with an End of Job character. The default time is 300 seconds.

7.Select Enabled for PDL Switching to allow the printer to automatically switch between multiple supported PDLs within a single job.

Note: PDL Switching should normally be disabled.

8.Click Apply. To set all fields to printer default values, click Default All.

9.Click OK.

Advanced Settings

Additional Raw TCP/IP Printing options can be specified in the Advanced page. These include:

1.Connections

•Total Job Limit per Connection: Type a value between 0 and 32768 to limit the number of jobs that can be active for each port.

•Maximum concurrent connections.

•Maximum concurrent jobs: Type a value between 0 and 500 to specify the maximum number of concurrent jobs. A setting of 0 allows unlimited concurrent jobs.

2.Job Boundary Determination

•Enable Control D Marks End of PostScript Job if you want the Control D character to be used to indicate the end of a PostScript print job.
