Configuration
TCP/IP (LPD/Port 9100)
Preparations
The following items are required when using TCP/IP (LPD/Port 9100) protocol on the machine.
•
A network environment where TCP/IP can be used.
•
The "CentreWare Utilities" CD-ROM, which is included with this product.
Configuration procedure
Overview
The machine can be connected to computers using TCP/IP (LPD/Port 9100) protocol.
The following is the procedure to use TCP/IP(LPD/Port 9100) protocol.
•
Configuration on the Machine: Configure TCP/IP (LPD/Port 9100) on the machine.
•
Configuration on the Computer: Install the print driver.
Configuration on the machine (LPD)
This section describes the configuration procedure to use TCP/IP (LPD/Port 9100) protocol on
the machine. First enable the LPD Port or Port 9100 port, then assign the IP address.
LPR/LPD is a platform-independent printing protocol that runs over TCP/IP. LPD (or Line Printer
Daemon) refers to the process that accepts print jobs from the line printer daemon client (LPR
client). This is analogous to the printer software and is often called "LPD server."
The print server waits for the client to send a job. A print server may be capable of handling
multiple printers and print queues at once. Since it (usually) has a single IP address, the queue
name must be used to specify the intended print queue.
Note
The configuration can also be performed using CentreWare Internet Services or CentreWare
Utilities. Refer to "Using CentreWare Internet Services".
