Define the processing of jobs submitted via LPD/LPR

The printer protocol LPD can be enabled by the system administrator. The print protocol LPR must be installed on the workstation that submits the jobs.

1. Use the [LPD] option to indicate when the RIP starts to process LPR jobs.

   • [Streaming]: is applicable to large jobs. The job is processed by the RIP and printing can start at the same time.

   • [Receive, then print while RIP is in progress]: is default value and is applicable to smaller jobs that have multiple sets. The RIP starts to process the jobs after they arrive in the print queue and before the whole job has been received.

   • [Streaming]: is default value and applicable to large jobs. The job is processed by the RIP and printing can start at the same time.

   • [Receive, then print while RIP is in progress]: is applicable to for smaller jobs that have multiple sets. The RIP starts to process the jobs after they arrive in the print queue and before the whole job has been received.
