Setting TCP/IP options

To use TCP/IP input

1.	Choose Configuration from the 'Options' menu.

2.	Select the TCP/IP page of the 'Configuration' dialogue.

3.	Check the Enable TCP/IP input box.

4.	Click Port number and supply the number (e.g. 6000) or click Port name and type in a port name (e.g. ESCAPEE or myport which will be looked up in the Windows Services file to find the port number).

5.	To create a Shortcut icon which uses all the options you have set, click Shortcut... (see Shortcuts - the easy way to construct a command line).

Click OK.

To use LPR output

1.	Choose Configuration from the 'Options' menu.

2.	Select the TCP/IP page of the 'Configuration' dialogue.

3.	Select Enable LPR output (this is mirrored on the 'Automatic' tab).

4.	In the To host box, define the host name or the IP address to which the output is to be sent.

5.	On large systems, set up the Queue name; a Job name may be specified too if required.

6.	To create a Shortcut icon which uses all the options you have set, click Shortcut... (see Shortcuts - the easy way to construct a command line).

Notes

The 'class' of the file will be the same as the file extension (PDF, XML, etc.).

Specifying the 'host' sets up a symbol (so HOST=xx.xx.xx.xx in the INI file would define the default host IP address); this would enable LPR output from the command line e.g.:

ESCAPEE filename /PS /LPR

While the file is being processed the output is stored in a buffer. The LPR connection is made when the processing is complete (or in the case of a large file, the buffer is full). This means that the transmission may not start immediately and the line is not kept waiting.
