Establishing a Telnet connection

The printer's IP address must be set before a Telnet session can be established (see Setting the printer's IP addressing parameters ).

The client should be in character mode with the Binary option enabled and local echo set (see Options ).

The printer establishes a Telnet session in response to the following command:

telnet printer-IP-address

When you establish a Telnet session with the printer, the printer operates in the same manner as a serial connection. There is no prompt, and you can send data directly to the printer's PostScript interpreter. Enter PostScript executive mode by typing executive, or enter control characters (see Special character processing ).
