Physical port
(0100 L1_PROUT)

FastPrint Port to which the printer is attached
(P1 to P3).

String before job
(0101 L1_PREST)

The printer control string (in hex) to be sent to
the printer before each print job.

String after job

the printer after each print job.

conversion is done.

Note: The maximum size of a printer control string is 15 characters.

5.3. Unix host configuration

You must first give the FastPrint Server an IP address so that it will be a valid device on
the LAN.

5.3.1. Static IP address configuration

1. Determine the physical address of the FastPrint Server from the default name shown

on a sticker on the base of the FastPrint. It will be in the form SCxxyyzz (SC
followed by 6 hex numbers). If its name is SCxxyyzz, then the physical address is
00:c0:02:xx:yy:zz.

2. Login to the UNIX host as root.

3. Add the FastPrint to the /etc/hosts file by adding the following line to the file:

IP_Address NAME # comment
