Host System Configuration
The Compaq series of line matrix printers do not support the Tandem
Asynchronous Protocol (TAP), or Transparent Tandem Asynchronous
Protocol (T-TAP).
Dataproducts Long Lines Parallel Interface
SYSGEN - Use the 5518 macro name. For a complete list of attributes
for parallel printers, refer to the System Generation manual for
Terminals and Printers (P/N 107875).
NOTE: The EIO Timeout parameter may need to be configured
depending on the speed of the printer.
TCP/IP LAN Configuration
In order to configure a network printer on a Compaq system, a file in
$system.system called “FASTCNFG” must be created. The following is
an example entry in FASTCNFG for the 5525B/31/32 printer:
DEVICE
=
<$PRINTER NAME>
CONTYPE
=
TCP/IP
PROTOCOL
=
MICROPLEX
ADDRESS
