Installing The Optional Filters; Setting Up The Printer On A Tcp/Ip Network - GCC Technologies Elite XL-1208 Network Manual

TCP/IP
tcpof - Enables you to add header pages at the beginning of print jobs.
Documentation note: Unless otherwise specified, the terms spooler, lpd,
printer's spooler, internal spooler, and master spooler all refer to the Berkeley
UNIX print spooler named lpd.

Installing the optional filters

Copies of the optional filters are contained in a folder named UNIX on the
Elite XL Software and Documentation CD-ROM.
1. Copy the binary file "filters.tar" to the Unix machine that will be the
master spooler for the Elite XL. Please note that file transfers should
be done in binary mode.
2. Use the Unix program "tar" to unpack the file. This will create a
directory named "filters" containing several files. The following com-
mand may be used on most Unix machines:
Refer to the Makefile for details on compiling and installing the filters.

Setting up the printer on a TCP/IP network

Follow these steps to set up the Elite XL on the network:
•
•
•
•
tar xvf filters.tar
Decide where the printer will be physically located on the
network and connect it to your Ethernet network.
Configure the printer's front panel with information about
your network.
Select a hostname for the printer and enter it, along with the
printer's IP address, into your network's host table.
Confirm the network connection with the UNIX program ping.
