INSTALLING THE UNIX TAR FILE
Considerations and Limitations
n This print model acts only as a filter and not as a complete
driver. The size and order of the printed pages cannot be
modified.
n The GL-1020 UNIX filters do not support the following
engine-supplied features:
w Magazine Sort
w Saddle-stitch
w NUp
w Watermarks
w Cover Sheets
w Sheet Insertion
n You must have root privileges to install the required files.
n Linux uses the lptap command to send a file to a printer.
Since lp is not supported in all versions of Linux, the
lptap command should be used instead.
n AIX supports printing using the qdaemon. This can be
invoked by the user with the commands
lp, lpr or qprt. In
order to use the GL-1020 filter, either
lp or qprt should be
used.
Supplied Components
n net_gl1020
This file is a shell script that will be installed in "/usr/lib/lp/
model/net_gl1020". It contains all the parsing for the
GL-1020 specific commands and it generates all the output
code. Being a shell script a system administrator can modify
it if a site requires any custom options or if other components
are installed in non-standard locations.
n lpdsend
This is an executable program that is called by
net_gl1020
to send the print file to the GL-1020 using the LPD protocol.
This program will be installed in /opt/toshiba/tap/bin/
lpdsend.
n lpLinux.sh (Linux filter only)
