Testing Transparent Print

The following example uses an IBM InfoWindow II 3153 and an Epson
LQ-510 printer. Copy and adapt these procedures as needed.

The terminal is set up as follows:

emulation=wyse60
enhanced mode=on
commmode=full duplex
Host/Printer=EIA/None
EIAbaud=38400
AUXbaud=38400
EIAdata=8/1/N
AUXdata=8/1/N

1.

Use a null-modem cable to connect the SES1-EIA port on the
terminal to RocketPort Board 1, Port 0 (ttyr0a).

2.

Use a serial-to-parallel cable to connect the printer to the SES2-
AUX port on the terminal.

3.

Verify that the driver has been installed with transparent print
feature enabled and a port speed of 38,400.

4.

Disable /dev/ttyr0a.

5.

Edit /comtrol/rckt/tprint.cfg and add the following lines:

device=tpr0a
auxon=(esc d #)
auxoff=(dc4)
printcps=90
option=onclr

6.

Run /comtrol/rckt/psetup -t.

The program should return (test mode). If it does not, resolve the
error conditions and try again. Repeat until tprint.cfg is error-free.

7.

Run /comtrol/rckt/psetup.

8.

Enable /dev/ttyr0a.

9.

Enter this command:

ls> /dev/tpr0a

This should print a listing of the present working directory on the
printer, without printing to the terminal screen.

10. If desired, print man pages, or cat text files to /dev/tpr0a to further

test the printer.

11. Login on the terminal and cat files to the printer. The terminal

should work without stopping while printing is in progress.
