14.3
On Using TCP/IP (LPD)
Be aware of the following precautions and limitations when using the printer with the TCP/IP (lpd)
protocol.
14.3.1 During setup
Setting up at the printer
• Be very careful in setting IP addresses which are controlled as an entire system. Consult your
network administrator before defining any IP address.
• Depending on the network environment used, it may be necessary to set up the subnet mask and
gateway. Consult your network administrator to set up the necessary items.
• If setting the port to Enable leads to insufficient memory, a message to that effect will be
displayed on the control panel and the port status may be set to Disable automatically. When
this happens, set the ports which are not in use to Disable , change the memory size, or install
more memories.
• Specify the size for the receive buffer memory as required by the environment. If the size of the
receive buffer memory is smaller than the file data to be received, the data may not be received.
Setting up at the PC/workstation
• Be very careful in setting up IP addresses which are controlled as an entire system. Consult your
network administrator before defining any IP address.
• Before setting any network (such as the IP address) to a host being used under Network
Information Service (NIS), consult the NIS administrator.
14.3.2 During switching power on/off
Take note of the following when switching off the printer:
When LPD Spool is set to Memory (spool mode)
All the print data spooled to the printer memory, including print data which is being output,
will be deleted. When the printer is switched on again, the print data will not be found.
However, if the printer is switched off immediately after the print data has been sent, the
data may be stored on the PC. In this case, when it is switched on again, the stored print
data will be printed first even if new print data has been specified.
When LPD Spool is set to Hard Disk (spool mode)
All the spooled print data, including print data which is being printed, will be saved. When
the power is switched on again, the stored print data will be printed first even if new print
data has been specified.
