Appendix B: Using Remote Console Services
(LPD-Plus)
1. OVERVIEW
This section describes the remote console services available on IntelliBar Net print servers.
A service is a resource that can be accessed by computers, in this case to access and configure
the IntelliBar print the print server. IntelliBar print servers provide the following predefined ser-
vices (do a
SHOW SERVICE
command in the print server remote console to get a list of available
services; note that the serial port services will only be displayed if the serial port has been enabled
for printing):
IntelliBar AS Net Telnet Console Commands

XCD_
xxxxxx
_S1_AT
S1 port AppleTalk service
where "
xxxxxx
" is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (for example,
XCD_009C53_P1).
Note that any of the services, not just the user-defined ones, can be modified to meet a user's
particular requirements.
IntelliBar print servers provide the 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 se-
quences that are sent to the printer before or after the print job. For example, you could define
one of the services to provide bar code printing by defining a setup string that contains the appro-
priate commands to configure the printer to print data as
a specific barcode symbology, including setting the aspect ratio, bar code height, symbology den-
sity, check digit, position of human readable text, etc.
