Xerox 7765, 7755, 7775 manual Lpr/Lpd, Enabling LPR/LPD

Network Configuration

LPR/LPD

The Line Printer Daemon (LPD) and Line Printer Remote (LPR) protocols are used to provide printer spooling and network print server functionality for UNIX-like systems such as HP-UX, Linux, and Macintosh.

Note: For information on setting up print queues on your client system, refer to your client system’s documentation.

Enabling LPR/LPD

Notes:

•Verify that TCP/IP and HTTP have been configured.

•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 Properties > Connectivity > Protocols > LPR/LPD.

2.Select Enable to enable the protocol.

Note: Disabling LPR/LPD will affect clients printing to the printer over TCP/IP using the LPR printing port.

3.Type an LPR/LPD Port Number or use the default port number of 515.

4.Under Advanced Settings, select Enabled to allow PDL Switching. PDL switching allows the printer to process single print jobs that contain two or more printer languages, such as a job with a PCL header prepended to a PostScript print job.

Note: This setting should normally be disabled.

5.Select Enabled to enable PDL banner page attributes override LPR control file attributes for job name and owner. This feature allows you to replace the standard information displayed on a banner page with the user name and job name from the print job.

6.Select the desired option from the Place temporary hold on which jobs drop-down menu. Options include:

•None (Use printer's default banner sheet job name if data file 1st): The printer will not wait to receive the job control information. This selection may cause banner sheet information to print incorrectly.

•Only those with data file received 1st: The printer holds the job if the job's data file is received first. This ensures the printer waits to receive the job's control file information so that the banner sheet contains accurate information.

•All (consistent with older implementations): This option puts all jobs on hold. All data is received before a job begins to print. This setting can cause jobs to print slowly but will result in accurate banner sheet information.

7.Click Apply to accept changes or Undo to retain the previous settings.

8.Click OK.
