Application sample - network printer

The application samples have been tested with a test configuration and are described accordingly.
Certain deviations when setting up actual applications are possible.

The following hardware was used for the test configuration:

• TwinCAT master PC with Windows XP Professional SP 2, TwinCAT version 2.10 (Build 1305) and

INTEL PRO/100 VE Ethernet adapter

• Beckhoff Ethernet coupler terminal EK1100, terminals EL1012, EL6601 and EL9010

• Printer HP LaserJet 4200tn

A network printer is connected to the EL6601 within the terminal network via the Control Panel of the control
system IPC:
