AX3000 - User's Manual 55
The embedded LPD print server allows the remote printer to be accessed as a
standard system printer.
An LPD printer requires three parameters:
- The AX3000’s IP address or FQDN name if DHCP/DNS is used,
- An identifier for the auxiliary port (user selectable character string),
- An optional filter to pre-process the file before printing (but generally this
processing is done by the operating system level).
To set the LPD service on a port, select the [Configuration]-[Ports]-[xxx]-
[yyy] dialog and enter the following parameters:
- Service: select lpd.
- Parameters: press <Space> to access the following dialog box:
- Printer Port Name: this is the port identifier. Sometimes the same
name is used for the printer at the operating system level.
- NL=CR+NL Filter: The line feed character 0x0A can be mapped to
carriage return + line feed 0x0D 0x0A,
- Enhanced parameters: see Appendix A.10.3,
- Pre-print String: character string sent before the print job.
- Post-print String: character string sent after the print job (for example
"\0C" is a form feed)
Note: if a serial port is used for printing, set the operating mode to 'Printer'.
For more information about lpd printers, refer to the chapter related to your
operating system in this manual.
