Overview

Raw TCP/IP is used to open a TCP socket-level connection over Port 9100, and stream a print-ready file to the printer input buffer It then closes the connection either after sensing an End Of Job character in the PDL or after expiration of a preset timeout value Port 9100 does not require an LPR request from the computer or the use of an LPD running on the printer Raw TCP/IP printing is selected in Windows as the Standard TCP/IP port. Note : Enable TCP/IP before enabling Raw TCP/IP printing. Configure Raw TCP/IP Settings Configure Raw TCP/IP Advanced Settings In the Embedded Web Server, click Properties > Connectivity > Setup . For Protocol, for Raw TCP/IP Printing, click Edit . On the Raw TCP/IP Printing tab, for Protocol, select Enabled . For TCP Port Number, ensure that Port 1 is set to 9100 Note : To emulate HP JetDirect EX Plus 3, set Port 2 to 9101 and Port 3 to 9102 . For Bidirectional, for each active port, select Enabled . For Maximum Connections per Port, for each active port, type a number from 1 through 32. For End of Job Timeout, for each active port, type a time in seconds from 0 through 1800. For PDL Switching, for each active port, select Enabled as needed Note : PDL Switching allows the printer to switch automatically between multiple supported PDLs within a single job. To save the new settings, click Apply . To return all settings to the default status, click Default All . On the Raw TCP/IP Printing page, click the Advanced tab. Under Connections, set the following: Set the Maximum Connections per port between 1–32 The default port value is 32. To allow concurrent jobs to process for each port connection, type a number between 0–500 jobs in each port Type 0 to allow unlimited concurrent jobs. To limit the number of jobs that are active for each port connection, type a number between 0–32768 Type 0 to allow unlimited number of active jobs. Set the Maximum Connections per port between 1–32 The default port value is 32. To allow concurrent jobs to process for each port connection, type a number between 0–500 jobs in each port Type 0 to allow unlimited concurrent jobs. To limit the number of jobs that are active for each port connection, type a number between 0–32768 Type 0 to allow unlimited number of active jobs. Under Job Boundary Determination: Type the End of Job Timeout between 0–1800 seconds to specify the amount of time to pass before a job processes with an End of Job character The default time is 300 seconds.Type 0 to disable end of job detection by timeout. Under Backchannel Data: Enable Backchannel Data Transmission to Client , then, enable Out of Order Backchannel Data to allow data from several jobs to be interspersed Note : Out of Order Backchannel Data is only available when Backchannel Data Transmission to Client is enabled. Under Banner Page Printing: To restrict banner pages to print for specific jobs only, select the job types from the Banner Page Enabled drop-down menu Options are First Job Only , No Jobs , or All Jobs . To enable banner pages to print before each PDL document within a single job, select Enabled for Banner Page for Each Document of Job. To restrict banner pages to print for jobs that specifically request them through PJL, select Enabled for Banner Page for Job Containing only PJL Commands. To restrict banner pages to print for specific jobs only, select the job types from the Banner Page Enabled drop-down menu Options are First Job Only , No Jobs , or All Jobs . To enable banner pages to print before each PDL document within a single job, select Enabled for Banner Page for Each Document of Job. To restrict banner pages to print for jobs that specifically request them through PJL, select Enabled for Banner Page for Job Containing only PJL Commands. Miscellaneous To allow the printer to switch between multiple PDLs within a single job, select Enabled for Language (PDL) Switching within PJL Job. To force parsing of job data, select Enabled for Job Data Parsing Override Note : Job data is not parsed when bidirectional communication and PDL switching are disabled.

Click Apply to save the new settings or Undo to retain the previous settings Click Default All to reset settings to default values.
