CONFIGURING THE M204 FOR TCP/IP: Overview 19

CONFIGURING THE M204 FOR TCP/IP

Overview

If you are setting the Print Server in a TCP/IP environment, this chapter will help you

with all aspects of the setup process. The provided host software is introduced and

then steps are given for conﬁguring the M204 for communications over the network

and for printing. Since TCP/IP encompasses a wide variety of system types, the com-

mon ones are covered in detail to help you get printing in a TCP/IP environment.

Host Software

The TCP/IP software provided includes two setup programs, source code, interface

ﬁles, and various printing-related programs such as:

• a2ps for ASCII to PostScript conversion,

• onlcr for carriage return insertion,

• banner for banner page generation,

• chr for echoing ASCII characters and strings to standard output,

• npscramble for print job scrambling,

• npd for bi-directional communications when printing,

• npwrite for direct socket printing.

chr is the only mandatory binary when using one of the interface scripts for printing.

The extra processing binaries (a2ps, onlcr, banner) can be conﬁgured for the host to

perform or they can each be set on the M204 alleviating the host of these extra tasks.

To be utilized on a host, they must be used in conjunction with an interface ﬁle. Other-

wise, please see USING THE M204’S COMMAND SET on page 81 for information on

the commands necessary to set these features on the M204. By setting these features

on the Print Server, the compilation of chr may be the only one required.
