LAN Manager/DLC Configuration

8 - 1

8 - LAN Manager/DLC Configuration

The EZWebCon conÞguration software is the easiest way to conÞgure the MPS. This 
chapter explains DLC

 

conÞguration for Windows NT 4.x hosts. Windows 95 does not 

support DLC printing (see Chapter 4, TCP/IP ConÞguration, for more information).

NOTE:

The Server needs an IP address before you can use EZWebCon. See 
the Setting the IP Address section on page 4-2 for instructions.

NOTE:

Printing using an LPD client is the preferred method for sending 
print jobs to the MPS. To print using the TCP/IP protocol see the 
Using the Command Line Interface section on page 4-8.

8.1 DLC Configuration

8.1.1 Server Configuration

To use the DLC protocol, you must have one service with the DLC characteristic enabled.

 

Use the 

DeÞne Service 

servicename

 DLC Enabled 

command. The DLC characteristic 

may be associated with only one service on a given MPS.
