Setting Up Printers
Remote Printing Using RCP
When setting up a serial port that accesses a printer using RCP, do the following:
1. Set the serial port to Printer and configure the Speed , Flow Control , Stop Bits , Parity , and Bits
parameters so that they match the printer’s port settings.
2. Save your settings and restart the serial port.
3. To execute a print job, use the following syntax:
rcp :p<#>
where <#> is the IOLAN serial port number (10000 + serial port number).
Remote Printing Using Host-Based Print Handling Software
Printers connected to the IOLAN can be accessed by TCP/IP hosts using print handling software.
1. Set the serial port to TCP Sockets . Enable the Listen for connection option . On the Hardware
tab, configure the Speed , Flow Control , Stop Bits , Parity , and Bits parameters so that they
match the printer’s port settings.
2. Save your settings and restart the serial port.
3. The print handling software needs to know the Name of the IOLAN and the TCP Port number
assigned to the printer serial port.
