This chapter describes the following Model 5390 utilities and daemons:

The aprint utility sends files directly to the Model 5390 printer connected to the serial line port.

The aprint utility can be used

as a direct command or integrated with the standard host print-

spooling mechanis

aprint [–Aannex [–Lline]] [–f] [–Fstring] [–pprinterport] [ﬁlename...]

Table C4-1 describes the arguments for aprint. The syntax is:

NOTE: The –L and –p ﬁelds are mutually exclusive. Rev. 6.1.1 and

greater of the aprint utility do not support any Model 5390 operational

code before Rev. 3.0. In general, applications written for use with the

Model 5390 server should not use aprint to connect to serial ports.

Instead, the ports should be configured as slave or adaptive and appli-

cations should use TCP to connect to them directly (see The Port Server

and Rotaries starting on page A4-1).

Supported Arguments for aprint

The name or Internet address of the Model 5390 server to

which the printer is attached.

The Model 5390 port number on which to print.

Prevents aprint from supplying form-feeds between files.

By default, aprint supplies a form-feed at the start and end

of every file.
