0x0A). The printer will perform the specified function immedi-
ately after receiving the command.
Format:
do ”{action name}” ”{parameter}”
{action name} = The action to perform. Please refer to the
parameter list for valid action names.
{parameter} = some actions require one or more parameters.
The parameters should be specified as required by the cor-
responding action, enclosed within double quotes. For actions
that do not require a parameter an empty parameter list should
be specified, i.e. “”.
Configuration Parameters
The following is a list of parameters which can be used to
configure a printer for network use. This is not intended to be
a complete guide to using these parameters, only a brief syn-
opsis of the commands available. Always refer to the Mobile
Printer Programming Manual for more details and examples of
their use and syntax.
NETWORKING PARAMETERS
The following parameters can be used only with the network
application versions 40 and above. Any changes made us-
ing the setvar command will not take effect until the printer’s
power has been cycled or the device.reset command is issued.
These parameters determine the internet protocol settings of
a printer . Their use and definitions exceed the scope of this
document, but more detailed exposition of the full set of .ip
parameters may be found in the CPCL Mobile Printer Program-
ming Manual.
card.mac_addr
type: getvar
Example: ! U1 getvar “card.mac_addr”
This parameter will report the MAC address of the network card
installed in the printer.
ip.addr
type: getvar; setvar
setvar choices : Any valid IP address
getvar example: ! U1 getvar “ip.addr”
setvar example: ! U1 setvar “ip.addr” “10.14.4.235”
This parameter refers to the IP address of the printer. The DHCP
setting (“ip.dhcp.enable” parameter) must be “off” to change
the printer’s IP address.
ip.bootp.enable
type: getvar; setvar
setvar choices: “on” – Printer will use BOOTP to get its IP in-
formation on startup.
“off” – Printer will not use BOOTP.
Default:“off”
getvar example: ! U1 “getvar” “ip.bootp enable”
setvar example: ! U1 setvar “ip.bootp.enable” “on”
This parameter will turn BOOTP on or off. BOOTP is a method
for acquiring an IP address, netmask, and gateway automati-
cally on printer power-up. It requires a BOOTP server on the
local network.
If you are using static ip addressing, BOOTP must be “off”.
NOTE: It is not recommended that BOOTP and DHCP both be en-
abled at the same time since this may increase the printer power-
up initialization time. You should contact your network administra
-
tor to determine whether your network supports either BOOTP or
DHCP and enable only the proper parameter on the printer.
