    Both Remote LPD and FTP have provisions for specifying a Remote Print Queue Name. The OkiLAN 6120e looks at the last character of the Remote Print Queue Name to determine which printer port will service the print job. All Remote Print Queue Names should end with the number 1, 2, 3 or 4.
  • Page 110 Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing The OkiLAN 6120e will parse the remote queue name and search for certain characters at the end which tell how to convert an ASCII print job. The print server uses FF, LF and NF as ASCII conversion specifiers and uses the last number as an output port.
