Operation After setting up the card, you can use the routine lpr command from any host to direct a print file to the Ethernet Card. The card does not have to interpret any of the incoming print data whatsoever, allowing binary image files, font download files, as well as ASCII text to be printed transparently. The interface card is able to handle m[...]

For programmers’ information, the Ethernet Card TCP/IP mode responds only to arp packets and to TCP/IP connections made to port (socket) x0203, and ftp socket. Connection attempts to other port addresses will meet with no response. All data arriving at this port is assumed to be following valid lpr protocol, and therefore you cannot just send dat[...]

ftp (Form feed) The Ethernet Card will append a form feed to the end of the print job if the destination file is given the name of “FEED” or “feed.” For example, to send a text file called “txtfile” to the Ethernet Card in ASCII mode and append a formfeed, use the following ftp commands: ascii send txtfile feed Ipr-Filters Filters for l[...]

Note: tl To eliminate confusion, you should give the local and remote printers the same name, except where an existing local default name is required. Q Use the local printer name as the lpr entry on the lpr command line to direct the print. The printer names used to invoke the different filters are as follows: 1pb 1Pa lpbf lpaf - Binary files (no [...]
