6.1 For Printing From UNIX
This section explains the installation procedure for printing from a UNIX computer.
System Configuration
The printer uses the Line Printer Daemon Protocol (LPD) that supports TCP/IP as the
transport protocol. With the LPD, use the printer under a UNIX network environment.
The printer LPD supports Spool Mode where print jobs from clients are spooled once before
output and Non-spool Mode where print jobs are sequentially output without spooling.
Note
• When the LPD port is used, the printer can limit print instructions by IP addresses. For details, refer to
the User Guide.
Target Computers
The target computers are as follows:
• Workstation or personal computer with RFC 1179 Line Printer Daemon Protocol
Interface
The printer LPD is available on the following interfaces:
• Ethernet 100BaseTX
• Ethernet 10Base-T
The applicable frame types conform to Ethernet II.
