Printing Commands
The following explains printing operations using the lpr commands.
Enter commands using the command prompt window. The location of the
command prompt varies depending on operating systems:
• Windows 2000
[Start] - [Programs] - [Accessories] - [Command Prompt]
• Windows XP/Vista, Windows Server 2003/2003 R2/2008
[Start] - [All Programs] - [Accessories] - [Command Prompt]
Note
❒ Match the data format of the file to be printed with the emulation mode of this
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: 10
•ftp: 3
❒ Enter the file name in a format including the path from the directory executing
commands.
Reference
The “option” specified in a command is an intrinsic printer option and its syn-
tax is similar to printing from UNIX.
