15 Click OK when done to return to the “Details” window. You should
now see something about “MPS Port” within the “Print to following
port:” field.
16 Click OK to close this printer’s properties window.
You now have a new network printer which relies on MPS to print
remotely to a printer off of the M202/M212
COMMAND CHANGES
The M202/M212 print server has a command shell called “npsh” built in
to its firmware. This command shell can be accessed through telnet or
remote command sessions (i.e. rsh, rcmd, remsh) to the unit, through the
“npsh” Novell executable, or through one of the serial ports with a dumb
terminal, PC, or laptop directly attached.
Within the parallel port command structure of this shell, this command is
used to alter the speed and flow control used on the port:
set
portname
[-]ackmode [-]bbmode [-]fastmode [-]slow-
mode [-]vslowmode
where:
portname “
prn1” or “prn2” depending on which parallel port
the printer is attached to.
ackmode Flow control. Use the
ACK signal to trigger next
data transfer. Busy mode is used as the default flow
control method.
bbmode Bit Bucket mode. Simulate an attached printer even
if one isn’t attached.
fastmode Speed. Increase the data transfer rate.
slowmode Speed. Slow the data transfer rate.
vslowmode Speed. Slow the data transfer rate even further to
accomodate slower or older printer models.
With version 5.6.2 and higher, this command has been changed to:
set
portname
mode slow|cen|pc|fast|bb
where:
portname “
prn1” or “prn2” depending on which parallel port
the printer is attached to.
slow Slow the data transfer rate.
cen Centronics mode. Use with
older impact printers
(i.e. dot matrix, line printers).
pc Default mode. Will work with most printers.
fast Increase the data transfer rate. Used with some
newer, faster printers like the HP 4 and 5 series.
