mand prompts varies depending on operating systems:

• Windows Me

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 accepted. Try
again when sessions end. For each command, the amount of possible sessions
is indicated as follows:
• rcp, rsh: 5
•ftp: 3
❒ Enter the file name in a format including the path from the directory execut-
ing commands.
❒ The “option” specified in a command is an intrinsic printer option and its syn-
tax is similar to printing from UNIX. For details, see UNIX Supplement.
rcp
First, register the printer's host name in the hosts file.
c:> rcp [-b] \pass name\file name [pass name\file name...]
printer's host name:[option]
Note
❒ In file names, “*” and “?” can be used as wild cards.
❒ When printing a binary file, add the “-b” option.
When using a printer with the host name “host” to print a PostScript file named
“file 1” or “file 2” located in the “C:\PRINT” directory, the command line is as fol-
lows:
c:> rcp -b C:\PRINT\file1 C:\PRINT\file2 host:filetype=RPS
