2 TallyCom III PrintServers
Once the hardware printer attachment has been installed according to its
”Installation & Operator’s Guide”, you should be able to discover it with
PrintGuide (In Monitor View, select Monitor, Discover).
The Hardware PrintServer appears in the Monitor View’s list of Detected
Devices with either IP address or universal MAC address (See label
attached to the bottom or rear panel of the hardware printer attachment).
The MAC address looks like this: 00036e00483a.
The DLC discovery protocol must be enabled, unless the PrintServer has
an IP address. Please note that the DLC protocol is not available on
Windows ME and XP. Please refer to the manual that came with your
PrintServer for more information on assigning the IP address.
Refer to “
1.6 Discovery preferences ” if the PrintServer remains
undetected.
2.1 Configuring the PrintServer
Now that the PrintServer is installed and discovered, only two conditions
remain to be fulfilled before the PrintServer can be used for printing:
•
One or more logical printers must be enabled and configured.
(Refer to “
Example of configuring a logical printer ”)
•
The logical printer's corresponding network protocol must be
enabled and configured (refer to
2.4, Network settings )
Table 2 shows some of the logical printers and the network protocol they
rely on.
