Raw TCP/IP Printing
Raw TCP/IP is used to open a TCP socket-level connection over Port 9100, and stream a print-ready file to
the printer input buffer. It then closes the connection either after sensing an End Of Job character in the
PDL or after expiration of a preset timeout value. Port 9100 does not require an LPR request from the
computer or the use of an LPD running on the printer. Raw TCP/IP printing is selected in Windows as the
Standard TCP/IP port.

Plus 3, set Port 2 to
9101
and Port 3 to
9102
.
5.
Select
Enabled
for bidirectional communication.
6.
Set the Maximum Connections per port between
1–32
for each port. The default port value is 32.
7.

0–1800
before the job is
processed with an End of Job character. The default time is 300 seconds.

To configure Advanced Settings:
1.
Under Connections, set the following:
Set the Maximum Connections per port between
1–32
. The default port value is 32.
To allow concurrent jobs to process for each port connection, type a number between
0–500
jobs in each port. Type
0
to allow unlimited concurrent jobs.
To limit the number of jobs that are active for each port connection, type a number between
0–32768
. Type
0
to allow unlimited number of active jobs.
2.
Under Job Boundary Determination:
Type the End of Job Timeout between
0–1800
seconds to specify the amount of time to pass
before a job processes with an End of Job character. The default time is 300 seconds. Type
0
