11 - Command Reference
This chapter describes the RapidPrint 500 command set. Each command and its syntax is shown,
as well as whether or not the command is restricted to the privileged user.
NOTE: See Set Privileged/Noprivileged for information on changing your port to privi-
leged status.
The following conventions are used in the syntax diagrams of this chapter:
• Bold type denotes command keywords, which may be entered in
upper, lower, or mixed case.
• Italics signal a user-supplied parameter, such as a particular port num-
ber or host name. Replace the italicized word with an entry that corre-
sponds to your setup.
To preserve case and spaces, user-entered parameters must be enclosed
in quotes.
• Brackets [ ] denote optional parameters. Multiple optional parameters
can be entered in any order or combination on a single command line.
Items in brackets may be left out of the command if not desired.
• Curly braces { } indicate that one and only one of the items enclosed
within the braces must be used to complete the command.
11.1 Command Line Interface
Command line entry is both simple and powerful. Users can enter up to 132 characters on a com-
mand line, or abbreviate commands to a sequence of the smallest unique keywords (sometimes
single characters). Commands are executed when the Return key is pressed or when the command
line exceeds 132 characters.
11.1.1 Command Line Editing
Table 11-1 lists the special keys used for command line editing.
NOTE: Line editing is disabled on Hardcopy ports.
