7.5.2 Software Specifications

Corresponding Protocol TCP/IP

Network layer ARP, RARP, IP, ICMP

Session layer TCP, UDP

Application layer LPR, FTP, TELNET, BOOTP, DHCP

Notes

• Print data can be sent by LPR and FTP of TCP/IP and Socket’s exclusive protocol.

• Printer status can be obtained by Socket’s exclusive protocol.

7.5.3 TCP/IP Specifications

In TCP/IP protocol environment, LPD and FTP are provided for printing. TELNET for the setup of variable,

and ARP, RARP and BOOTP/DHCP for the setup of each address are available.

In socket connection, monitoring the transmission of print data and the printer status. Note that multiple

sessions cannot be established at the same time.

WindowsNT, Windows2000 / XP / Server2003 / Vista operation systems support LPD of TCP/IP that enables

print operation; however, Windows98 / Me are not configured with LPD. In order to print directly, off-the-shelf

printing utility is required.

For Windows2000(excluding Advanced Server) / XP / Server2003 (R2 is yet to be verified) / Vista, use the

exclusive “Network setting tool” to configure IP address and various settings.

7.5.4 LPD Specifications

LPD protocol complies with RFC1179 and handles the list of logical printer name as queue name such as lp,

sjis and euc.

When sending job by LPR, the sending order of data file and control file within the job will not affect print

operation.

Notes

• A job deletion by LPR is not supported.

• LPD specifications can be used for STATUS4 (Protocol for the driver) only.

• When using LPD for large quantity printing, a lack of data may occur depending on the Windows specifica-

tions.

• A banner page cannot be printed.
