Printing

Printing  7

There are three methods of printing from your IOLAN+: ioland,
LPD, or RCP.  ioland is the recommended method, however
this will depend on your application and operating system.

1.

ioland provides a pseudo TTY interface to Unix print
spoolers (not available for Windows

®

).  This software

and the binaries associated with it are available from
the Chase CD provided with the unit or from any of the
Chase web sites.

2. LPD is the ‘line printer daemon’ protocol supported by

most operating systems including Windows

®

 and Unix

(i.e. SCO, AIX, DG/UX, HP-UX, Solaris, etc.)  Check
our US FTP site (ftp.chaser.com) for an LPD spooler for
Windows

®

 95/98.

3. RCP is ‘remote copy printing’ and available on Unix

systems.  It requires a special interface script also found
on the Chase CD.

7.1 Using ioland

We suggest you use the Chase 

ioland utility on the CD

provided.  The 

ioland utility can be used for Unix printing

only.   

Ioland is a Unix tty port redirector.  For non-UNIX

applications use LPD, see Section 7.2.
