Introduction TCP/IP Print Servers, not to be confused with Network Print Servers such as HP JetDirect, are used to receive and distribute messages to the various Apollo® printing devices. This includes Ticket Printer, Itinerary/Invoice Printers, OSDP Manager and back office Accounting Interface (MIR). Galileo also provides Focalpoint Print Manager™, a Windows™ based print distribution application.
Accessing the TCP/IP Print Server Configuration Utility From the Print Server Monitor Screen, press the F3 key to exit to a DOS prompt. From a DOS prompt: Type “1” and Press ENTER. If the configuration screen did not appear, locate the RIC directory on the Print Server’s hard drive. A typical Print Server would have the directory at “C:\RIC”. Using the DOS Change Directory command “CD\RIC”, change to the RIC directory.
Save and Back-up Print Server Configuration After making ANY changes to a TCP/IP Print Server, Save the changes and back them up or any change may be lost. From the TCP/IP Print Server Configuration Utility, arrow left to the FILE drop down menu. File Configure Help Save Backup Restore Print Exit Arrow down to select “SAVE” and press ENTER (or press the “S” key). Note: Once the “Saving configuration, Please wait” message disappears, the file is saved.
Changing TCP/IP Network Information From the TCP/IP Print Server Configuration Utility, arrow left to the CONFIGURE drop down menu. File Configure Help IP Stack Network Parameters Printer Ports Manual Override Arrow to select “IP STACK” or press “I”. This Machine’s Address: __0. __0. __0. __0 Subnet Mask: __0. __0. __0. __0 Default Gateway Address: __0. __0. __0.
Changing Configuration Server Addresses and Client Identifier From the TCP/IP Print Server Configuration Utility, arrow left to the CONFIGURE drop down menu. File Configure Help IP Stack Network Parameters Printer Ports Manual Override Arrow to select “NETWORK PARAMETERS” or press “N”. Primary Config Server Address : 198. 177. 164. 151 Secondary Config Server Address : 198. 177. 164. 152.
Assigning GTIDs to the correct ARTIC Card Port The GTID or Global Terminal ID must be assigned to the correct port to where the print device is connected. Artic Cards may have either 4 or 8 ports where port “0”, or the first port, is unused. From the TCP/IP Print Server Configuration Utility, arrow left to the CONFIGURE drop down menu. File Configure Help IP Stack Network Parameters Printer Ports Manual Override Arrow to select “PRINTER PORTS” or press “P”.
If necessary, change the GTID on an assigned port. Do NOT change the BAUD, PARITY, DATA or STOP. If the settings do NOT match those above, please contact your Galileo or Apollo Account Representative before making any further changes. If so directed to change these settings, arrow to the field and press the F2 key for a list of available choices.
