Raw TCP/IP Printing
Raw TCP/IP is a printing method used to open a TCP socket-level connection over Port 9100, to stream
a print-ready file to the printer's input buffer. It then closes the connection either after sensing an End
Of Job character in the PDL or after expiration of a preset time-out value. Port 9100 does not require
an LPR request from the computer or the use of an LPD running on the printer. Port 9100 is selected in
Windows as the Standard TCP/IP port.
Enabling Port 9100
Note: TCP/IP must be enabled before Port 9100 is enabled.
1. In CentreWare IS, click Connectivity > Port Settings.
2. Next to Port 9100, select Enabled.
Configuring Port 9100
1. In CentreWare IS, click Properties > Connectivity > Protocols > Port 9100.
2. Next to TCP-MSS Mode, select Enabled if necessary.
Note: TCP-MSS settings are common for LPD and Port 9100.
3. If TCP-MSS mode is enabled, under IPv4, type the IP addresses for Subnet 1, 2, and 3.
4. Ensure that the TCP Port Number is set to 9100.
5. Set the End of Job Timeout to the desired number of seconds between 0 and 1800 before
processing a job with an End of Job character. The default time is 300 seconds.
6. Click Apply.
