Printer
Printer is where you configure locally connected and network-connected printers.
Print services
These toggles turn on services that let the device accept print jobs sent to it over the network:
| Setting | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| LPD print service | Toggle | Enables the Line Printer Daemon service, so the device can accept print jobs sent to it over the network. |
| TCP direct-print | Toggle | Enables direct TCP printing to a network printer connected to the device. |
Turning on TCP direct-print shows three number fields, one for each connection it listens on. Adjust each port with its -/+ buttons:
| Setting | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|
| USB on port | Number field | 9101 |
| COM 1 on port | Number field | 9102 |
| COM 2 on port | Number field | 9103 |
While no printer is configured yet, a No printer defined message appears below these toggles.
