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 = <IP ADDRESS>
QUEUENAME = NAME OF PRINT QUEUE>
HOSTNAME = NAME OF SERVER
PORT = 4400
BLOCK = 1024
TIMEOUT = <ADJUST TO AVOID TIMEOUTS> (i.e. 4000)
POLLNUM = 100
IDLETIMEOUT = 60
TCP/IP-A = <PROCESS NAME>
ONLINEMODE = NO/YES (default is NO)
NOTE: In order to configure the printer with the Internal Ethernet
Adapter from the front panel, please refer to page 144.
