Printing on a Network
The printer can be operated on a network using the printing protocols "Raw-IP
and "LPD.
Availability and Installation of the Printing Protocols under Windows
Under Windows NT4.0 and Windows 2000 the protocols are available, but LPD
is not installed using the standard installation. Under NT, an LPR protocol port
can be installed and configured to print to an LPD (Line Printer Daemon)
enabled printer like the
M4
. Windows 2000 offers a new port monitor which is
called Standard Port Monitor (SPM). SPM is installed by default when TCP/IP
is installed in Windows 2000 and can be reconfigured for LPR- or Raw-IP
protocol. Information for installing and configuring these protocols can be
found in Windows documentation.
Under the Windows 95/98/ME operating system, there is no built-in support for
Raw-IP and LPD but network printing is still possible. There are Third-Party
solutions for using TCP/IP with the printer. It is necessary to install special
tools in order to use these printing protocols. Information about these Tools
are available from cab.
NOTICE !
When Raw-IP is installed, you can select between port addresses of 2501,
3001, 3002, 9100, 9101, 9102 and 9103. The same port address must be
configured in the printer.
When an LPD printer port is installed, the computer asks for a "queue
name". Please enter the queue name "lp" (line printer).
