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 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
•sftp: 3
❒ Enter the file name in a format in-
cluding the path from the directo-
ry executing commands.
❒ The “option” specified in a com-
mand is an intrinsic printer option
and its syntax is similar to printing
from UNIX. For details, see UNIX
Supplement.
lpr
❖ When specifying a printer by IP ad-
dress
c:> lpr -Sprinter's IP ad-
dress [-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 -Pfile-
type=RPS -ol C:\PRINT\file1
