Printing
Printing 7
There are three methods of printing from your IOLAN+: ioland,
LPD, or RCP. ioland is the recommended method, however
this will depend on your application and operating system.
1.
ioland
provides a pseudo TTY interface to Unix print
spoolers (not available for Windows
®
). This software
and the binaries associated with it are available from
the Perle CD provided with the unit or from the
Perle web site.
2. LPD is the ‘line printer daemon’ protocol supported by
most operating systems including Windows
®
and Unix
(i.e. SCO, AIX, DG/UX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, etc.)
Check our US FTP site (ftp.perle.com) for an LPD
spooler for Windows
®
95/98.
3. RCP is ‘remote copy printing’ and available on Unix
systems. It requires a special interface script also found
on the Perle CD.
7.1Using ioland
We suggest you use the Perle
ioland
utility on the CD
provided. The
ioland
utility can be used for Unix printing
only.
Ioland
is a Unix tty port redirector. For non-UNIX
applications use LPD, see Section 7.2.
