AX3000 Models 90 - User's Manual 83
LPD is a universal network printing protocol supported by all operating systems.
Often there may be a better protocol to use, for example:
- RDP/ICA redirection: for Windows TSE (see Chapter 5.1.6 and 5.2.8).
- Prt5250: specific for OS/400 (see Chapter 6.3),
- Prt3270: specific for S/390 (see Chapter 7.3),
- tty: specific for Unix/Linux (see Chapter 5.3),
The embedded LPD print server allows the remote printer to be accessed as a
standard system printer.
An LPD printer requires three parameters:
- The AX3000’s IP address or FQDN name if DHCP/DNS is used,
- An identifier for the auxiliary port (user selectable character string),
- An optional filter to pre-process the file before printing (but generally this
processing is done by the operating system level).
To set the LPD service on a port, select the [Configuration]-[Ports]-[xxx]-
[yyy] dialog and enter the following parameters:
- Service: select lpd.
- Parameters: the following dialog box is displayed:
- Printer Port Name: this is the port identifier. Sometimes the same
name is used for the printer at the operating system level.
- NL=CR+NL Filter: The line feed character (0Ah) can be mapped to
carriage return + line feed (0Dh + 0Ah),
- Enhanced parameters: see Appendix A.7.3,
- Pre-print String: character string sent before the print job.
- Post-print String: character string sent after the print job (for example
"\0C" is a form feed)
Note 1: If "Choose Portrait/Landscape" is enabled (see Appendix A.7.2), the
parameter "Pre-print String" is replaced by the two parameters "Portrait Pre-
