Section 7: Interface Specifications

Page 7-13

In TCP/IP protocol environment, LPD and FTP are provided for printing. TELNET is provided for the setup of 
various variables, and ARP, RARP and BOOTP/DHCP for the setup of IP address are available.

In socket connection, the printing operation and the status are monitored. In this case, multiple connections 
cannot be established at the same time.

WindowsNT and Windows2000/XP/Server2003/Vista operating system support LPD of TCP/IP that enables 
you to print; however, Windows98/Me is not configured with LPD. In order to perform printing operation, off-
the-shelf printing software is required.

LPD protocol complies with RFC1179 and handles the list of logical printer name as queue name such as lp, 
sjis and euc.

When sending a job by LPR, the transmission order of data file/control file within the job does not affect the 
printing operation.

• A job deletion by LPR is not supported.
• LPD is available only for Protocol for Driver (STATUS4).
• If executing a large quantity of printing by LPD, some parts of the data may be missing due to the Windows 

specification.

FTP protocol complies with RFC959 and handles the list of logical printer name as transfer directory. File 
transfer to this directory executes printing operation. Note that it is possible to specify ASCII(A), BINARY(I), 
and TENEX(L8) as transfer modes although mode difference is dependent on the client side.
There are three directory names such as lp, sjis and euc.
