14-6 Configuring LPD Printers
The following table lists the print characteristics that you can configure:
Setting Port Characteristics
For LPD to communicate with your printers, you must set the following port
characteristics:
• ACCESS REMOTE
• AUTOBAUD DISABLED
• FLOW CONTROL, PARITY, SPEED and STOP BITS to match the printer’s
settings
Use the DEFINE/SET/CHANGE PORT command to configure port characteristics.
Characteristic Description
AUTOCR Automatically inserts a carriage return. When you enable
this option, the access server inserts a carriage return after
each line feed character if there is no existing carriage
return. The AUTOCR option applies only to ASCII text
files.
CONNECTIONS Specifies whether a user can queue a print job to a printer.
You use this option to disable access to a printer
temporarily for reasons such as routine maintenance or
adding paper.
FLAGPAGE Specifies a message that prints on the flag page that prints
before the file data.
HEADER Specifies whether a header page prints before the file data.
You can set this option so that no header page prints if the
access server does not know the user name at the start of the
print job (for example, if the access server receives the data
file before it receives the control file).
IDENTIFICATION Specifies a text string (40 characters or less) that is
associated with a printer.
TRAILER Enables or disables printing of a trailer page after file data
prints. You can set this option so that no trailer page prints
if the access server does not know the user name at the start
of the print job (for example, if the access server receives
the data file before it receives the control file).
TYPE Specifies ASCII or PostScript. Use this option to determine
the kind of flag page or pages to send to the printer.
