3.5.2 - Setting the Parallel Port
Select the [Configuration]→[Aux. Ports]→[Parallel] dialog box to configure
the parallel port:
The [TEST] button allows communication between the AX3000 auxiliary port
and the parallel device to be tested. Whatever the auxiliary port status (TCP/IP
connection established or not), when this button is 'pressed', data is sent from
the AX3000 port to the device.
The following parameters can be set:
- Associated Service: selecting the protocol which control the auxiliary
port (for more information, see Chapter 3.5.3 and following).
- Net Service Parameter: for more information, see Chapter 3.5.3 and
following.
- Pre-print String (available for the lpd, rcmd and rtty services): character
string sent before the printing.
- Post-print String (available for the lpd, rcmd and rtty services): character
string sent after an the printing (for example "\0C" is a form feed).
3.5.3 - Connecting a Printer
This chapter deals with the operations needed to set-up the AX3000 for an LPD
printer. But other protocols are available to handle a printer:
- Prt5250: dedicated to OS/400 (see Chapter 6.3),
- tty: dedicated to Unix/Linux (see Chapter 3.5.5).
The embedded LPD print server allows the remote printer to be accessed as a
standard system printer.
