The following fields are important:

Field

Description

Flow ctrl

Set your Terminal Server port flow control to Hardware.
Then set your printer to use ‘DTR Pacing’ or ‘Hardware’
or ‘Ready/Busy’ flow control. Use the RS-232 printer
cable pinout shown in

Appendix D Cabling

Access

Set this field to Remote. This sets the port of the
terminal server to listen for connections coming from
the network. There will be an INETD process running
on the terminal server that does the listening.You can
check on the status of this process by looking at the
Netstat screen of the terminal server’s Statistics menu
(or show net from the CLI prompt).

Mode

Set this field to Telnet. This puts the port of the terminal
server in Telnet mode, which will ensure that EOF is
properly negotiated before closing down the TCP/IP
connection, otherwise the tail end of a print job could be
lost.

Local port

The INETD process running on the terminal server for
this port is listening for TCP/IP connections on TCP
port 10006.
