Print Services Raw-IP and LPD in MS Windows
The print services Raw-IP and LPD are not available in all operating systems. In
general, special tools are required to set up print services.
During the installation of both print services, additional connections for print output
are set up:
• Raw-IP: Enter the same port address in the printer which you have selected during
installation.
• LPD: "lp" (line printer) must be entered as the name of the printer on the computer
(queue name).
Adjusting Windows Printer Setting
If the printer driver valid for your Windows version is installed on your computer,
Windows standard applications can be used to edit the label contents and to start the
print jobs. To use the Raw-IP or LPD print services, the Windows printer settings must
be adjusted:
1 Open the folder containing the printers via Start > Settings > Printers.
2 Right-click the icon of the label printer. A pop-up menu appears.
3 Select "Properties" in the pop-up menu.
4 Open the "Details" or "Connections" tab.
This tab contains, among other things, the connections which were also set up
when the print services were installed. The names of these connections depend on
the installation tool used.
5 Select the Raw-IP or LPD connection.
6 Click OK.
Connecting the Label Printer via USB Interface
The high-speed USB interface allows the label printer to be operated via a USB
interface of a computer running the operating system Windows 2000, Windows XP
32bit / 64bit, Windows 2003 32bit / 64bit and Windows Vista 32bit / 64bit.
A printer driver must be installed if a USB interface will be used for connection.
