processing on the data is done. Normally, the raw queue is used to avoid interpretation of codes
by the print server that are intended for the printer itself. When printing from an AS/400 to an
IntelliBar print server over TCP/IP, the LPD function of the server is used to access the raw port.
RCONSOLE. A NetWare utility program that allows a workstation user to access the file
server console.
Remote Console. A method of accessing the print server console remotely via protocols like
TELNET or NCP for configuration and management purposes.
Remote Printer. In Novell NetWare, a remote printer is a device that connects a printer to a
NetWare print server via a network connection rather than through the parallel or serial port of
the print server.
Repeater. A network devices that connects two or more network segments together and pro-
vides the additional function of strengthening and reshaping the electrical signals, thereby allowing
the network to be extended over greater distances.
Reset. In printing, a reset is a one or more characters sent before and/or after a print job. Usu-
ally, the purpose of a reset is to restore the printer back to its normal state
RJ45. A type of modular jack connector similar to a telephone connector but with 8 wires in-
stead of 4 wires. Used for 10baseT Ethernet connections and for serial port connections.
Router. A device that connects networks together. A router operates at level 3 of the OSI Ref-
erence model. A router is called a gateway in TCP/IP terminology.
RPRINTER. The method for connecting a remote printer to a print server in NetWare V3.xx
and V2.xx. Replaced by NPRINTER in NetWare V4.xx. See also Remote Printer.
RS-232. The most common serial communications interface electrical standard.
RS/6000. IBM's RISC-based family of computers usually running AIX, IBM’s variant of
UNIX.
SAP R/3 AFP. Advanced function printing utilities for SAP R/3 platforms. SAP R/3 AFP dy-
namically transforms the output of R/3 applications, providing enhanced documents with elec-
tronic forms, images, logos, bar codes and fonts for printing with IPDS printers.
SCS. SNA Character Stream. SCS is an IBM printer control code table that enables control of
the printer data stream. SCS is used for non-IPDS printing. Following is the SCS control code
table for the IBM 4028 emulation used in IntelliBar AS printers:
