mand prompts varies depending on operating systems:

Note
❒ Match the data format of the file to be printed with the emulation mode of the
printer.
❒ If the message "print requests full" appears, no print jobs can be accepted. Try
again when sessions end. For each command, the amount of possible sessions
is indicated as follows:
• lpr: 5 (When the spool printing function is available: 10)
• rcp, rsh: 5
•ftp: 3
❒ Enter the file name in a format including the path from the directory execut-
ing commands.
❒ The “option” specified in a command is an intrinsic printer option and its syn-
tax is similar to printing from UNIX. For details, see UNIX Supplement.
lpr
❖ When specifying a printer by IP address
c:> lpr -Sprinter's IP address [-Poption] [-ol] \pass name\file name
❖ When using a host name instead of an IP address
c:> lpr -Sprinter's host name [-Poption] [-ol] \pass name\file name
When printing a binary file, add the "-ol" option (lowercase O, and lowercase L).
When using a printer with the host name "host" to print a PostScript file named
"file 1" located in the "C:\PRINT" directory, the command line is as follows:
c:> lpr -Shost -Pfiletype=RPS -ol C:\PRINT\file1
