Tab. 6: Availability of print services Raw-IP and LPD in Windows
Windows 2000 offers the port monitor SPM (Standard Port Monitor) which is installed automatically
when setting up the TCP/IP protocol. The SPM can be configured for Raw-IP or LPD.
Information on installation can be obtained from the Windows documentation.
During the installation of both print services, additional connections for print output are set up:
⇒ Raw-IP: Enter the same port address in the printer which you have selected during installation.
⇒ LPD: "lp" (line printer) must be entered as the name of the printer on the computer (queue name).
2.2.2 Adjusting Windows printer setting
If the printer driver valid for your Windows version is installed on your computer, you can use the Win-
dows standard applications to edit the label contents and to start the print jobs. To use the Raw-IP or
LPD print services, you must adjust the Windows printersettings:
1. Open the folder containing the printers via Start > Settings > Printers.
2. Right-click the icon of the printer.
A pop-up menu appears.
3. Select "Properties" in the pop-up menu.
4. Open the "Details" or "Connections" tab.
This tab contains, among other things, the connections which were also set up when the print serv-
ices were installed. The names of these connections depend on the installation tool used.
5. Select the Raw-IP or LPD connection.
6. Click OK.
