Horizon Imager User’s Manual 7-5
Printing via FTP and LPR
LPR (originally named for
line printer
) is a printing tool t hat enables
you to send files to the Horizon imager
.
LPR uses the TCP/IP networking protocol and is most commonly
used in UNIX and Linux, and to a lesser extent in Windows and
other operating systems. Most LPR implementations have
easy-to-use commands for sending files to the imager. However,
they do require setup by a system administrator for correct
operation. Instructions for setting up LPR to work with the Horizon
imager are provided in the
Horizon Imager Technical Manual
.
To print jobs to the Horizon imager using LPR, use the
lpr
command
as follows:
lpr -Pname [-#c] [-s] imagefile1 [imagefile2] ...
where:
mêáåíáåÖ=îá~=imo
-Pname
is the name for the Horizon imager logical device/Job
Settings file combination that you want to use.
The names for the available combinations are typically
defined by a system administrator during LPR setup.
-#c
is a command option that allows you to specify the number of
copies, c, to print. If not defined, one sheet will be printed.
-s
is a command option that causes LPR to send the images
directly to the Horizon imager, and not store them temporarily
in the spool directory. This option can save printing time. If
used, you cannot delete the image file being sent until it is
finished printing.
imagefiles
are the image files to be printed on the sheet. Image cells are
filled left to right, top to bottom.
