3.3.6 Difference Between LPR Port and Standard TCP/IP Port

On the iR C6800, both LPR port and standard TCP/IP port may be used side by side; however, the use of the standard
TCP/IP port is recommended for the following reason:
- In the case of the LPR port (OS standard), jobs spooled on the PC will not be sent to the printer (as when about
10 jobs are being printed in succession. In a while, printing will resume, but newly added jobs may be printed,
skipping the jobs that have been left out (e.g., resulting in missing sets).
- In the case of the LPR port, additional installation of software is needed.

3.3.7 Installing the LPR Port (UNIX Print service) Components

If the standard TCP/IP port is used, you need not install the LPR port (UNIX print service).
If, because of limits imposed by the user environment, the standard TCP/IP port cannot be used, you may have to
select the LPR port (UNIX print service); if such is the case, you need to separately install it, as it does not come as
part of the standard installation.
