Introduction
Introduction
The 4155C/4156C supports the NFS (network file system) client and lpr (line
printer remote) capability. This feature provides the following advantages.
•
You can manage the 4155C/4156C setup data files (*.DAT, *.MES, *.STR,
*.MAT, or *.CST) on a network file system, instead of diskettes.
•
You can share those files with more than one 4155C/4156C.
•
You can access files faster than using the built-in disk drive.
•
You can transfer spreadsheet data files (*.TXT) and graphics data files (TIFF,
PCL, or HP-GL) to your PC using the network file system. You can analyze data
by using spreadsheet software, and can import the graphics files into your
technical report by using a word-processing software.
•
You can store files that are too large to store on a diskette. This is useful for
automatic measurements that store large amounts of data.
•
You can share a remote printer with other users. You do not need to connect a
printer to the 4155C/4156C.
•
You can use a remote printer outside the clean room. This is good to keep the
clean room free of normal printer dust.
