Once properly set up, remote printing can save time as well as organize and control the paper flow from a group of computers. Setup and operation of remote printing can be accomplished quite easily by following the guidelines laid out on these pages. How to Use This Booklet This booklet is arranged in the following sections: o Methods of Remote Printing o Remote Printing Using a Direct RS-232 Cable o Remote Printing Using Telephone Lines o Trouble-shooting Checklist for Remote Printing First, read the Methods of Remote Printing section to determine which remote printing method you want to use. Then, read the section that applies to your selected remote printing method for setup and printing instructions. If you experience any difficulties in hardware setup, or if you have any problems when printing your information, read the Trouble-shooting Checklist for Remote Printing. You'll find the answers to most of your remote printing questions. Methods of Remote Printing You can use a printer attached to a remote UNIX PC in one of two ways: o Connect your UNIX PC to the remote UNIX PC by using a direct cable This method requires a cable attached to RS- 232 ports on both machines. This method is the preferred method since the information is transferred to the remote computer at a much faster rate (9600 baud compared to 1200 baud) than it is using the telephone line method. For information on setup and procedures for this method, see the section titled Remote Printing Using an RS-232 Cable on the following page. o Send the information from your UNIX PC to the remote UNIX PC by using the telephone lines This is done by sending information over a telephone line that is configured as a data line. For information on setup and procedures for this method, see the section titled Remote Printing Using Telephone Lines. Remote Printing Using an RS-232 Cable Remote printing can be accomplished by running a cable from an RS-232 port on your UNIX PC to an RS-232 port on the UNIX PC that is attached to the printer. The UNIX PC attached to the printer is referred to as the "host." This can involve one system or several systems attached to the host computer. One of the options available for the UNIX PC is an RS- 232 expansion board. Up to three of these can be added. Each one adds two more RS-232 ports to your UNIX PC. With additional RS-232 expansion boards, the host computer can be configured to allow as many as six users to send print jobs to the printer at the same time using RS-232 cables. The print jobs are "stacked" in the Printer Queue in a FIFO (First In, First Out) order, and printed in turn. This method allows all users to send print jobs to the host computer whenever they like, without checking to see if someone else is using the printer or flipping a switch as in most "T" switch setups. See the section titled Setting Up Expansion Ports for Remote Printing for information on setup for this method. RS-232 Cable Configuration for Remote Printing To connect two UNIX PC's together using the RS-232 ports, you must use a properly configured RS-232 cable. This cable is of key importance to the success of your remote printing operations. The following is the proper pin configuration for an RS-232 cable used for remote printing. 1 - - - - - 1 2 - - - - - 3 3 - - - - - 2 4, 5, and 6 strapped on both ends 7 - - - - - 7 8 strapped to 20 on both ends Setting Up for Remote Printing Using RS-232 Cable If you want to have files printed on a printer attached to a host computer, you must enter information about the host so that your UNIX PC knows where to send the files. Setting up this information is a one-time process for each host computer unless you need to modify any information about a particular host computer. This information must be supplied by the person in charge of the other system. For UNIX users, this allows uucp exchange as well. The information about the host computer is entered in Mail Setup. This is because, for remote printing, the UNIX PC uses the same information as it does for electronic mail. To enter a new host computer: 1 Point to |Administration| in any Office window and press or . The Administration menu is displayed. 2 Point to |Mail Setup| and press . The Mail menu is displayed. 3 Point to |Electronic Mail Names of other systems|. 4 Press . The Mail to other computers form appears. Note To check the list of other computers already set up, select the Computer name: field and press the Cmd key. Point to the [X] icon and press the B1 mouse button or press the Enter key to return to the form shown above. 5 Be sure the command is Add and computer name is NEW-ENTRY, then press . A form requesting information about the host (called) computer appears. 6 Type the name of the host computer. You must get this information from the person in charge of the host computer. The name can be up to nine characters but the first six MUST be unique on your machine. If the name is not unique, the system is unable to send the print files to a unique location, in this case, the host computer. 7 Press . The highlight moves to the Electronic mail login name field. If the electronic mail login name of the host computer is other than nuucp, type the name. Otherwise, leave nuucp in this field. Note The most common name is nuucp; the next most common is uucp. (These stand for UNIX-to-UNIX copy.) THIS IS NOT THE USER LOGIN - 99 PERCENT OF THE TIME, nuucp OR uucp IS VALID FOR THIS FIELD. You should never use any login name other than uucp or nuucp without express instructions from either the person in charge of the host computer or your technical representative. 8 Press . The highlight moves to the Password field. 9 If the receiving computer uses a password when receiving electronic mail, type the password. 10 Press three times. The 1st Choice Method field is displayed. 11 Press until RS-232 is displayed. 12 Press . The highlight moves to the baud rate field. 13 Press until 9600 is displayed. 14 When all your information is correct, press . This completes the procedures for entering a new host computer. Follow the steps on the next page for the proper printer setup used for remote printing. Printer Setup for Remote Printing Before you can send print files to a remote printer, you must type information that lets your UNIX PC know what type of printer it is and where it's located. This information is entered in the Printer Setup form. Note Setting up a printer temporarily halts the printing of any other printer connected to your system. You may want to check the Printer Queue before setting up another printer. To input this information: 1 Point to |Printers| from any Office window and press or . The Printers menu is displayed. 2 Point to |Printer Setup| and press . The Printer Setup menu is displayed. 3 Point to |Remote Computer Name|. 4 Press to display the remote computer names known to your system. If you have not yet set up any remote computer names through Mail Setup, you must do so before attempting to use remote printing. 5 Point to the name of the computer you want to use for remote printing and press . That computer name is now displayed in your Printer Setup menu. 6 Press . The highlight moves to the Printer Name field. 7 Type in the name of the printer you plan to use for remote printing. The printer name must be typed in exactly as it appears in the host computer's Printer Setup, including uppercase and lowercase characters. You may have to get this information from the person in charge of the remote UNIX PC that is attached to the remote printer. If you want the remote printer to be the default printer, go to step 8. If not, go to step 10. You must enter something in the Default Printer field, even if you have only one printer set up. 8 Press . The highlight moves to the Default Printer field. 9 Press until Remote is displayed. 10 Press to complete your printer setup. If you see a message that tells you to reenter the printer name, you have set up more than one field with the same printer name. Change one of the field names and then press . A warning message reminds you that all current printing is temporarily halted until this setup procedure is complete. Your Printer Setup is now complete. Please proceed to the next page for information on setting up the RS-232 port. Setting Up the RS-232 Connection Now that you have set up your printer, the next step is setting up the RS-232 port on your UNIX PC. This must be done on each UNIX PC you are connecting to the host computer for the purpose of remote printing. To setup the RS-232 port for remote printing, you must: o Make the physical connection using a cable with RS-232 connectors. Make sure that your cable is configured correctly. (See the diagram in the section titled RS-232 Cable Configuration for Remote Printing) o Set up (configure) your system to recognize the type of connection you are making. To set up an RS-232 port: 1 Login as install. 2 Point to |Administration| and press or . The Administration menu is displayed. 3 Point to |Hardware Setup| and press . The Hardware menu is displayed. 4 Point to |RS232 Setup| and press . The Connect to RS232 Device form appears. 5 Press for a menu of device types. The Device Type menu appears. 6 Point to |Computer|. 7 Press . 8 Press . The highlight moves to the Device Speed field. 9 Press until 9600 baud appears. 10 Press . A form requesting the type of calls appears. For the host computer (the UNIX PC attached to the printer), HOST only is the correct selection. For the remote location, CALLER only applies. Caution The UNIX PC RS-232 port cannot be configured as both a host and caller at the same time. When two computers are connected, one must be designated as the "caller" and the other as the "host." 11 Press until the proper entry appears and press . An information message tells you the RS-232 port is set up. 12 Press to continue working. The RS-232 Setup is now complete. If you are connecting more than one UNIX PC to a host computer, follow the steps in the next section to set up the expansion ports on the host computer. If you are not connecting more than one UNIX PC to the host, skip the next section and proceed to Procedures for Remote Printing Using RS-232 Cable. Setting Up Expansion Ports for Remote Printing When RS-232 expansion boards and the accompanying software are added onto the host computer, a new selection is added to the Hardware Setup menu. This new selection is RS-232 Expansion Setup. You must use this selection to assign the expansion port number to be configured before setting up the expansion port. To set up an expansion port on the host computer: 1 Login as install. 2 Point to |Administration| and press or . The Administration menu is displayed. 3 Point to |Hardware Setup| and press . The Hardware menu is displayed. 4 Point to |RS-232 Expansion Setup| and press . You see the Port Selection window. You must select the number of the expansion port you are configuring. The expansion port number is based upon the expansion slot used to install the expansion board. Expansion RS-232 ports are numbered 1-6 from left to right (when you are looking at the rear of the UNIX PC), depending upon the number of expansion RS-232 boards that are installed. When you are looking at the rear of the UNIX PC to figure out the port number: o Do not count the RS-232 port that is above the expansion slots (see figure below). This is not an expansion port. o Do not count RAM expansion boards that do not contain RS-232 ports. o Count the RS-232 port connectors beginning at the left expansion slot. The first connector from the left is port number 1 (regardless of which expansion slot contains the ports), the second connector from the left is port number 2, and so on. 5 Point to the desired expansion port number and press or . The Connect to RS232 Device form appears. 6 Point to the Device Type field and press . Terminal is displayed in the Device Type field. 7 Press . The highlight moves to the Device Speed field. 8 Press until 9600 baud is displayed. 9 Press . Complete steps 5 through 9 for each desired expansion port. When you are finished setting up all of the desired expansion ports, proceed to the next section on procedures for remote printing. Procedures for Remote Printing Using RS-232 Cable Now that your system is set up, the procedures for remote printing are much the same as for printing on a printer that is attached directly to your system. This can be done either from an open file or by pointing to a file in your Filecabinet. To send a print file to a remote printer: 1 Point to the file you want to print and press , or open the file and press . The Print menu is displayed. 2 If you did not set up the remote printer to be the default, point to the Printer Name field and press until your remote printer name is displayed. 3 Press . Your document will now be printed. You do not have to worry about print jobs from other systems being sent at the same time. The host UNIX PC queues them and sends them to the printer in the order they were received. This order cannot be altered once the print jobs are queued. Remote Printing Using Telephone Lines By attaching telephone lines to the UNIX PC, files to be printed can be sent to a UNIX PC that is attached to a printer. The UNIX PC attached to the printer is referred to as the "host". The host computer "stacks" the print jobs in the Printer Queue in a FIFO (First In, First Out) order, and they are printed in turn. This allows all users to send print jobs to the host computer whenever they like, without checking to see if someone else is using the printer or flipping a switch as in most "T" switch setups. For remote printing through a telephone line, two lines attached to each computer are recommended. This will eliminate confusion that could arise from telephone lines being set to Voice rather than Data. If you must use a system with only one phone line, be very careful to set the line to Data prior to each remote printing task. To set a single line system to Data: 1 Point to |Telephone| from any Office window and press or . The Call Screen is displayed. 2 Press [LINE SELECT]. The system beeps and you receive the warning message: Switching to data mode. Do not lift handset until you switch back. At this point, your telephone status line changes to read DATA 1. This is displayed in the upper-left corner of your screen. 3 Exit the Call Screen by pressing . When you send a print file from a system with two telephone lines, the system automatically knows to use the data line. No line selection is necessary. When you have finished your remote printing operations with a single line system, you must set the telephone back to Voice before you can receive voice calls. To set a single line system back to Voice: 1 Point to |Telephone| from any Office window and press or . The Call Screen is displayed. 2 Press [LINE SELECT]. At this point your telephone status line changes to read VOICE 1. This is displayed in the upper-left corner of your screen. If your print file is still being sent, your system will respond with the error message shown below. If this occurs, press , give your system a few moments to finish the process, and repeat steps 1 and 2 above. Setting up the Telephone Lines If your telephone lines have not yet been set up, read this section. If they are already set up, go on to the next section. To configure telephone lines on the UNIX PC: 1 Login as install. 2 Point to |Administration| and press or . The Administration menu is displayed. 3 Point to |Hardware Setup| and press . The Hardware menu is displayed. 4 Point to |Telephone Setup| and press . The Telephone Information form is displayed. 5 If you have two telephone lines attached to your system, copy the information as shown on the form below and press : Is a telephone line plugged into the LINE 1 port? YES Is LINE1 a "Touch-tone" line? (most pushbutton phones) YES Is LINE1 a "Keyset" line? (old phones w/ lighted buttons) NO Does LINE1 have a "Message Waiting Feature" Is a telephone line plugged into the LINE 2 port? YES Will LINE2 be used for VOICE calls, or for DATA calls? DATA Is LINE2 a "Touch-tone" line? (most pushbutton phones) YES Is LINE2 a "Keyset" line? (old phones w/ lighted buttons) NO 6 If you have one telephone line attached to your system, copy the information as shown on the form below and press . Is a telephone line plugged into the LINE 1 port? YES Is LINE1 a "Touch-tone" line? (most pushbutton phones) YES Is LINE1 a "Keyset" line? (old phones w/ lighted buttons NO Does LINE1 have a "Message Waiting Feature" Is a telephone line plugged into the LINE 2 port? NO Will LINE2 be used for VOICE calls, or for DATA calls? DATA Is LINE2 a "Touch-tone" line? (most pushbutton phones) YES Is LINE2 a "Keyset" line? (old phones w/ lighted buttons) NO Steps 5 and 6 assume that: o You are using "Touch-tone" lines o You are not using "Keyset" lines o You do not have a "Message Waiting Feature" o You will use Line2 for Data calls if you have two lines If any of the previous assumptions are not true, add the correct information to the Telephone Information form and press . 7 Close the Administration windows and log out of the Office of install. Setting Up for Remote Printing Using Telephone Lines If you want to have files printed on a printer attached to a host computer, you must enter information about the host so that your UNIX PC knows where to send the mail or files. Setting up this information is a one- time process for each host computer unless you need to modify any information about a particular host computer. This information must be supplied by the person in charge of the other system. For UNIX users, this allows uucp exchange as well. The information about the host computer is entered in Mail Setup. For remote printing, the UNIX PC uses the same information as it does for electronic mail. To enter a new host computer: 1 Point to |Administration| in any Office window and press or . The Administration window is displayed. 2 Point to |Mail Setup| and press . The Mail menu is displayed. 3 Point to |Electronic Mail Names of other systems|. 4 Press . The Mail to other computers form appears. Note To check the list of other computers already set up for mail, select the Computer name: field and press the Cmd key. Point to the [X] icon and press the B1 mouse button or press the Enter key to return to the form shown above. 5 Be sure the command is Add and computer name is NEW-ENTRY, then press . A form requesting information about the host (called) computer appears. 6 Type the name of the host computer. You must get this information from the person in charge of the host computer. The name can be up to nine characters but the first six MUST be unique on your machine. 7 Press . The highlight moves to the Electronic mail login name field. If the electronic mail login name of the host computer is other than nuucp, type the name. Otherwise, leave nuucp in this field. Note The most common name is nuucp; the next most common is uucp. (These stand for UNIX-to-UNIX copy.) THIS IS NOT THE USER LOGIN - 99 PERCENT OF THE TIME, nuucp OR uucp IS VALID FOR THIS FIELD. You should never use any login name other than uucp or nuucp without express instructions from either the person in charge of the host computer or your technical representative. You must get this information from the person in charge of the host computer. 8 Press . The highlight moves to the Password field. 9 If the host computer uses a password when receiving electronic mail, type the password. You must get this information from the person in charge of the host computer. 10 Press three times. The 1st Choice Method field is displayed. 11 Press until Phone choice is displayed. 12 Press . The highlight moves to the Baud rate field. 13 Press until 1200 baud is displayed. 14 Press . The Phone information for receiving computer form is displayed. 15 Enter the data telephone number for the host computer. You must get this information from the person in charge of the host computer. Some host computers may have more than one data line. If you have a second number, press Return and then type the number. 16 Press . The Mail to Other Computers form is displayed. 17 Press to close the Mail to Other Computers form. Your telephone lines are now set up to do remote printing. Follow the steps on the next page for the proper Printer Setup used for remote printing. Printer Setup for Remote Printing Before you can send print files to a remote printer, you must input information that will let your UNIX PC know what type of printer it is and where it's located. This information is entered into the Printer Setup form. Note Setting up a printer temporarily halts the printing of any other printer connected to your system. You may want to check the Printer Queue before setting up another printer. To input this information: 1 Point to |Printers| from any Office window and press or . The Printers menu is displayed. 2 Point to |Printer Setup| and press . The Printer Setup menu is displayed. 3 Point to |Remote Computer Name|. 4 Press to display the remote computer names known to your system. If you have not yet set up any remote computer names through Mail Setup, you must do so before attempting to use remote printing. 5 Point to the name of the computer you want to use for remote printing and press . That computer name is now displayed in your Printer Setup menu. 6 Press . The highlight moves to the Printer Name field. 7 Type in the name of the printer you plan to use for remote printing. The printer name must be typed in exactly as it appears in the host computer's Printer Setup, including uppercase and lowercase characters. You may have to get this information from the person in charge of the remote UNIX PC that is attached to the remote printer. If you want the remote printer to be the default printer, go to step 8. If not, go to step 10. You must enter something in the Default Printer field, even if you have only one printer set up. 8 Press . The highlight moves to the Default Printer field. 9 Press until Remote is displayed. 10 Press to complete your Printer Setup. If you see a message that tells you to reenter the printer name, you have set up more than one field with the same printer name. Change one of the field names and then press . A warning message reminds you that all current printing is temporarily halted until this setup procedure is complete. Your Printer Setup is now complete. Please proceed to the next page for information on procedures for remote printing. Procedures for Remote Printing Using Telephone Lines Now that your system is set up, the procedures for remote printing are much the same as for printing on a printer attached directly to your system. This can be done either from an open file or by pointing to a file in one of your file folders. To send a print file to a remote printer: 1 Point to the file you want to print and press , or open the file and press . The Print menu is displayed. 2 If you did not set up the remote printer to be the default, point to the Printer Name field and press until your remote printer name is displayed. 3 Press . Your document will now be printed. You do not have to worry about print jobs from other systems being sent at the same time. The host UNIX PC queues them and sends them to the printer in the order they were received. This order cannot be altered once the print jobs are queued. With the telephone line method, it usually takes from two to four minutes for each document to be sent and printed. Trouble-Shooting Checklist for Remote Printing If you have followed the procedures in this booklet, but are still having trouble with remote printing, read through this checklist. Most of the common problems with remote printing are covered. 1 Make sure that all RS-232 cables and telephone lines are solidly connected. 2 Make sure that your RS-232 cable pin-out is correct. (See the diagram in the section titled RS-232 Cable Configuration for Remote Printing) 3 Once all cables are securely connected, try Printer Restart from the Printers menu on the host system. 4 In Mail Setup: Is the host computer name typed in correctly? Is the telephone number correct? Have you entered the proper connection type? Have you entered the proper baud rate? Note If the host computer has more than one UNIX PC attached to it, using the RS-232 cable method, try lowering the baud rate to 2400 baud in Mail Setup for all systems including the host. In the Definition of Called Computer form, make sure that the days and hours when calls are allowed are set up as ALL DAYS and ALL TIMES respectively. If they are set to something else, your system may be waiting for that time to send the print file. 5 In Printer Setup: Is the host computer name typed in correctly? Is the printer name typed in correctly? Remember, uppercase and lowercase characters must be typed in exactly the same as they appear in the Printer Setup of the host computer. Is the remote printer set to be the default? This is an optional step, but it can make things easier. 6 In RS-232 Setup: Is the Connection Type correct? It should be set to Caller Only for the remote UNIX PC(s) and Host Only for the host UNIX PC. Is the Device Type correct? It should be set to Computer on both machines. Have you entered the proper baud rate? Note If the host computer has more than one UNIX PC attached to it, using the RS-232 cable method, try lowering the baud rate to 2400 baud in RS-232 Setup for all systems including the host. If you have gone through this checklist and are still having problems with remote printing, check with your technical representative. 0707070000020032641006660001460001440000010167210363336115100001300000010370ModemPorts FROM: Convergent Technologies, Marketing Support TO: All UNIX PC Support Personel DATE: February 20, 1986 SUBJECT: External Modem Setup for the UNIX PC -------------------------------------------------------- This document describes the necessary steps to set up a modem on any port and to toggle that modem (when possible) from auto-answer to auto-dial and back. It is intended for use on UNIX PC's that have the 3.0 version of the operating system installed. It will use the following terms: MODEMNAME: The name of the modem you will be using as found in /usr/lib/uucp/modemcap. SPEED: The baud rate of the modem. It will usually be 300 and/or 1200 baud. 00x: where x is the port number, 0 - 6. Port 000 is the RS232 port on the main board. When facing the back of the machine, ports 001 - 006 are sequentially numbered from left to right, starting with the first installed Combo Board. This document assumes that the reader has an understanding of UNIX and has Super User privileges. A. Port Setup: You should be logged in as root for these procedures. 1. If the modem will be used for auto-answering, the following line must be included in /etc/inittab: 00x:2:respawn:/etc/getty tty00x SPEED Note that there must be a space before " 00x". This is so that the setgetty program can properly modify this file. When you have finished adding an entry for each modem into /etc/inittab, enter the command: telinit Q This will tell the init program to re-read /etc/inittab and to start up gettys on the appropriate ports. 2. If the modem will be used for dialing out, the following line must be included in /usr/lib/uucp/L-devices: ACU tty00x MODEMNAME SPEED 3. If the modem will be toggled between auto-answer and auto- dial perform both of the above steps. B. Toggling the port between dial-in and dial-out 1. Before toggling the gettys on or off, verify that the port is not in use. To do this enter the command: ps -e | grep 00x If this command returns a single line such as: 1595 001 0:01 getty The port is available and you should follow the next step to turn the getty off. If the command returns nothing at all, the port is available for dialing out and the getty has already been turned off. 2. To toggle the port to auto-dial, enter the command: setgetty 00x 0 This will kill the getty on that port to allow you to dial out without conflict from the getty. 3. To toggle the port back to auto-answer, enter the command: setgetty 00x 1 This will turn the getty back on and allow incoming calls to login. IMPORTANT!: You should not leave your modem configured for both auto-dial and auto-answer. Doing so may cause problems when you try to dial in. For information on toggling your modem between auto-dial and auto-answer, please refer to the modems owner's manual. C. Cabling Information.

The result is that the convenience and the value of this particular office automation tool is being sadly ignored. Actually, once properly set up, the e-mail feature is quite simple to use. By reading just a little of the documentation and keeping it handy to use for reference you should have no trouble getting e-mail to run smoothly. The following is a list of a few possible problem areas and corresponding page references which may help you successfully set up and master the use of e-mail: Default Editor - e-mail works, but the editor it uses is not the one you're used to. (See pp. 2-5 and 2-6 of E-mail User's Guide) Giving your system an e-mail site name - not sure how to name your system? (See pp. 2-6 and 2-7 of E-mail User's Guide) * Please note: this is not the same as your login. Entering the names of other systems to which you want to send e-mail - not sure how to input other peoples e-mail site names? (See pp. 2-7 and 2-8 of E-mail User's Guide) Setting up your phone lines - You must let your system know how many telephone lines you have and how you would like them configured. (See pp. 4-9 to 4-13 of the Unix PC Owner's Manual) * Please note: if you only have one line remember to use LINE SELECT to change to DATA whenever you are using e-mail. Sending and receiving files with e-mail - need to attach particular files to your e-mail message (ie. spreadsheet, graph, WP file) to get the information flowing? (See pp. 4-19 to 4-21 and 4-30 to 4-32 of E-mail User's Guide) Addressing the mailing envelope - not sure what format to use for the mailing envelope? (See pp. 4-13 to 4-15 and 4- 41 to 4-42 of E-mail User's Guide) * Quick hint: To: system name!login Subject: anything you like in this area (50 character maximum) Using the alias function - need to send messages to large groups at once? Want to decrease the amount of time that you spend on your daily routine? This powerful feature is well worth a few minutes of reading. (See pp. 4-37 to 4-40 of E-mail User's Guide) With very little effort, the ease of communications with the e-mail feature of the Unix PC will soon become evident. If you're still having trouble or if you just have questions about the application of some of its functions, please call us at Building #3 (see numbers below). REMEMBER: When in doubt, back that sucker up!
