INTELLIGENT PRINTER SWITCH
PLUS
5.2 The CONNECT Command
Selecting a Destination Port
By default, the Intelligent Printer Switch
plus
automatically sends all data to
Port 1. To send data to a different port or route it back to Port 1, use the
following command format, where
port
represents the port number (either
“1” or “2”):
<PM CONNECT port>
The new destination will now be used for all subsequent data sent from the
port that gave the command until either a new command is sent or the IPSP
is powered off.
Printing Several Copies
To automatically generate multiple copies, use this command format:
<PM CONNECT port:copies>
For example, the following command would print three copies of a file on
the printer attached to Port 1:
<PM CONNECT 1:3>
Note that the extra copies will not start printing until the IPSP has accepted
the whole file into its memory (see
Section 4.10
). Also note that if the file is
too large to fit inside the buffer, multiple copies will not print.
Broadcasting Data to Two Printers
To set the IPSP to broadcast data to two printers simultaneously, use this
command:
<PM CONNECT 1 2>
First Available Printer
To send data to the first of two available printers, use this command:
<PM CONNECT G1>
