Print jobs with lpr on Windows 2000
If you have entered all the settings described above, you can use
the lpr command as follows to send print jobs to RW-470
PLOTBASE via the RW-470 WINPRINT:
1. Open the Prompt on the Windows 2000 computer of RW-
470 PLOTBASE.
2. Change to the folder containing the files to be printed.
3. Enter the following command:
lpr –S %computer name% –P WINPRINT –o l <filename>
-S = server name
-P = name of the enabled plotter
-o l = binary mode
If you send a file without print parameters to RW-470 PLOTBASE,
the RW-470 PLOTBASE basic settings are used. If you want to
send your own print parameters with the plot, you have to first
send the CFG file, which must have the same name as the
graphic file, and then send the graphic file itself!
Attention: Always send the CFG or SSL file with your
print parameters first, then send the graphic file. Oth-
erwise there is a risk that RW-470 PLOTBASE begins to
print your file before it has received your own print
parameters for the print (CFG or SSL file).
