Managing the DECserver 90L+
Using a Printer
The installation requirements for a printer are dependent on the system
environment in which it is installed. However, there are three basic steps that
need to be performed when setting a DECserver 90L+ port for use by a printer.
1.
Choose the port to be used.
a.
Set the server name if it has not already been done.
b.
Set the port for use by a printer. The following port parameters should be
set:
Name = port name you want to use
Speed = speed of printer
Input flow = as required by printer (usually enabled)
Output flow = as required by printer (usually enabled)
Device type = Printer
Break = as required by printer (usually don’t care)
Remote Modify = enabled if host needs to be able to change printer
characteristics (usually disabled)
2.
Set up the system so it can access the printer port. Refer to your system
documentation for information on this procedure.
For example, on a VMS system you would use LATCP to map LTA1234: to
the server name and port name on the DECserver 90L+. A typical VMS setup
is as follows:
$ MCR LATCP
LCP>CREATE PORT LTA1234
Local Port Name = LTA1234:
<application>
LCP>SET PORT LTA1234:/NODE=MYSERVER/PORT=PRINT
Specified Remote Node Name = MYSERVER
Specified Remote Port Name = PRINT
Link Name = LAT$LINK
LCP>EXIT
