62 CONFIGURING THE M208 FOR TCP/IP: Host Configuration
FTP’s package also provides Windows printing along with several other software
packages on the market. These are just two possible applications that will work with
the M208. Please see the user manuals of the appropriate applications for more infor-
mation.
Direct Socket Printing
The M208 provides a socket interface for custom printing applications. Programs can
open a TCP connection to a TCP port on the Print Server. The specified port number
corresponds to a destination on the M208, and data is processed according to the
model associated with this destination. Please see list pserver on page 100, list dest on
page 99, and list model on page 100 for more details.
npwrite is a sample program that performs this way. It is included in the host software
shipped with your M208. For examples, please refer to Direct Printing Without the
Spooler on page 42.
FTP Daemon
The FTP Daemon provides an additional method to submit print jobs to the M208. For
a complete discussion of printing and other M208 functions using the FTP Daemon,
please see FTP Daemon on page 146.
Now that your TCP/IP host is configured for printing, please look to the following for
further configuration options:
Add to or change configuration of your M208. Please see USING THE M208’S
COMMAND SET on page 93 and USING NPWIN on page 127.
Utilize more advanced features of the M208. Please see USING THE M208’S
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS on page 131.
