4.2.2 Using PCONSOLE to Install a Print Server

FastPort can be configured for printing without a config. file. This
eliminates the need for the directory

SYS:LOGIN\MILAN

, its configuration

files, and the ACT software.

1. Create a print server called FPXXXXXX with

PCONSOLE

(where

XXXXXX is the unit’s six digits Ethernet address).

2. Create a queue for FastPort using

PCONSOLE

.

3. Assign the queue created to the print server FPXXXXXX. and power

cycle FastPort.

4. To send data to the serial port instead of parallel (default), create a

queue name ending with

-S

using

PCONSOLE

. To send data to parallel

port 2/3 or serial port 2, create a queue name ending with

-P2

,

-P3,

or

-S2

, respectively.
