TCP/IP Input/Output Modules
The TCP/IP Input and Output connectivity modules of the Solimar® Print Director™ Enterprise (SPDE) receive and send data from the server via several communication protocols of TCP/IP. The modules support lpr, lpd, and Unix direct socket or port protocols. TCP/IP is commonly used to transmit print data from Windows, Unix, mainframes and internet systems. The modules take advantage of lpr/lpd control files to provide job naming information for tracking, processing and distribution of data.
Most modern network printers support receiving print data via TCP/IP lpr, but some host systems use direct socket or port protocol to send print data. The TCP/IP modules can be used to provide a gateway between these protocols to enable direct socket or port support on lpd printers.
