6-8 Configuring the EPL-N2000 for OS/2

Note:

Choose port names that help identify the printers, such as PUBSPRT

or EPLASER. You can use up to seven characters, but you can’t use

any of the following:

/ \ . [ ] : ; | > < + = ? * $ “

2. If necessary, install the printers and create queues attached

to your OS/2 workstation. See your OS/2 documentation for

information.

Note:

If you plan to use a shared OS/2 print queue that receives print jobs

from other workstations, install either the IBMNULL or MSNULL

printer driver. For the device to connect to, choose one of the port

names entered in step 2.

3. Create an initialization file in the remote print service

directory.

❏ If your network protocol is TCP/IP, the format of the file

is as follows:

REMPRT <serial number> <portname>

❏ If your network protocol is NetBEUI, the format is as

follows:

REMPRT3 <serial number> <portname>

Each EPL-N2000 printer to which you pipe output is

identified in this file by its serial number and the portname

defined in step 1.
