Using Services (lpd-Plus)
A service is a resource that can be accessed by computers that wish to print
the NC-series. The NC-series provides the following predefined services
(do a
SHOW SERVICE
command in the NC-series remote console to get a
list of available services):
Service
Definition
BINARY_P1
LAT and TCP/IP binary service
TEXT_P1_TX
TCP/IP text service (adds carriage
return after each line feed)
POSTSCRIPT_P1
PostScript service (switches PJL-
compatible printer to PostScript
mode)
PCL_P1
PCL service (switches PJL-
compatible printer to PCL mode)
BRO_xxxxxx_P1_AT
AppleTalk service
BRO_xxxxxx_P1
NetWare service and NetBEUI
service (LAT and TCP/IP are
enabled for backwards
compatibility)
where "xxxxxx" is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (for example,
BRO_009C53_P1).
Note that any of the services, not just the user-defined ones, can be
modified to meet a user's particular requirements.
Brother print servers provide the powerful capability to customize any of
the services to meet specific user requirements through the use of setup and
reset strings. Such strings are printer command sequences that are sent to
the printer before or after the print job. For example, you could define one
of the services to provide landscape mode printing by defining a setup
string that contains the appropriate command to put the printer into
landscape mode.
Brother print servers provide several predefined strings for popular PCL,
PostScript, and PJL (the Page Job Language used by Brother printers)
commands. These include (do a
SHOW SERVER STRING
command in
the remote console to see the available strings):
No.
