Special Operations under Windows
Printing Commands
The following explains printing operations using the lpr commands.
Enter commands using the command prompt window. The location of the
command prompt varies depending on operating systems:
• Windows 2000
[Start] - [Programs] - [Accessories] - [Command Prompt]
• Windows XP/Vista, Windows Server 2003/2003 R2/2008
[Start] - [All Programs] - [Accessories] - [Command Prompt]
Note
❒ Match the data format of the file to be printed with the emulation mode of this
printer.
❒ If the message "print requests full" appears, no print jobs can be accepted. Try
again when sessions end. For each command, the amount of possible sessions
is indicated as follows:
• lpr: 10
• ftp: 3
6
❒ Enter the file name in a format including the path from the directory executing
commands.
Reference
The "option" specified in a command is an intrinsic printer option and its syn-
tax is similar to printing from UNIX.
