Key Functionsᅠᅠᅠ
Supports LPD Protocol (RFC 1179)
LPD protocol defined in RFC 1179 uses TCP port No. 515. For details, see 'LPD Protocol'.
Windows Service Mode
Xlpd can run as a Windows service or an independent program. When run as Windows service, Xlpd processes all printing jobs with a default queue without the user log in through their individual accounts. It is also convenient because service automatically starts when Windows starts. In this case, run or exit actions in the main Xlpd window do not affect Xlpd service execution and ending.
Supports Multi-queue
Since multi-queue is supported, different printers can be used or different printing methods can be designated by queue.
Printer Setup
A printer for file printing can be designated for each queue.
Printing with and without formatting
For text files, Xlpd provides formatting concerning font, spacing and etc. For details, see 'Print by Formatting Text File'. For PS (PostScript) or PCL (Printer Command Lanaguge) files, the direct printing must be used.
CRLF Conversion
Xlpd provides a function to convert CR (Carriage Return) to CRLF (Carriage Return & Line Feed) for successful printing of UNIX system text documents in a Windows environment.
Jobs List Window to View Printing Status
The status of each process can be checked from reception of a requested printing job to actual printing.
Print Job Processing (delete, print, store)
Xlpd provides functions to save or delete a print job.
Processes LPQ/LPSTAT Command
Xlpd receives and processes the LPQ and LPSTAT commands requested by UNIX system.
LPD Port Change
In addition to the general LPD port 515, other ports can be used according to user setting.
Log Viewer to View Error and Job Processing Details
Xlpd provides a log viewer to view details of job processing or errors. Log viewer provides search functions by period, queue, and message type.
