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.

1–32
.
−
To allow concurrent jobs to process for each port connection, in each port, type a number
between
0–500
jobs.
−
To limit the number of jobs that are active for each port connection, type a number between
0–32768
.
3.
For Job Boundary Determination, do the following:
−
Next to End of Job Timeout, for each active port, type a time in seconds from 0 through 1800.
−
For Control D Marks End of PostScript Job, select
