Printer Configuration

The printer supports several print methods. Select the print method

appropriate for your application.

In most cases, LPD is the recommended method. The printer appears as

a remote host with a remote print queue when using this method.

An alternate method is via a direct socket connection using RTEL in the

printer. Using this method, all data sent is dumped directly into the

printer's text buffer. This approach may be appropriate when

developing an application in C or another high level language that can

make direct socket calls.

Configuration Options

You must configure the printer for your network environment before

using it. Your network administrator should be involved in the process.

If your network supports the DHCP protocol, you may enable DHCP,

then cycle power on the printer with the Ethernet cable plugged in and

the printer will automatically setup by the DHCP server on the

network. If DHCP is disabled, you must select and set the printers’ IP

address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP address. You may also set the

default Server address if FTP or TFTP transfers will be made to the

printer.

Manual Configuration

To send configuration data to the printer manually:

Connect the printer to a PC or terminal via a USB cable, or use the

optional cables to connect to a RS-232 or Centronics parallel port.

Send a configuration file containing the appropriate VARIABLE

commands to the printer.
