be printed with the emulation
mode of the printer.
❒ If the message "print requests full"
appears, no print jobs can be ac-
cepted. Try again when sessions
end. For each command, the
amount of possible sessions is indi-
cated as follows:
• lpr: 5(When the spool printing
function is available: 10)
• rcp, rsh: 5
• ftp: 3
❒ Enter the file name in a format in-
cluding the path from the directo-
ry executing commands.
Reference
The “option” specified in a command
is an intrinsic printer option and its
syntax is similar to printing from UN-
IX. For details, see UNIX Supplement.
