Logical Printer
The logical printer screen is used to map different logical printer ports to printers attached to the Print
Server. A logical printer port is used to specify a set of printer control commands to be sent to a printer
for every print job sent through the logical port. Figure 3-8 shows the logical port screen and the
following table describes its fields.
Figure 3-8 Logical Port Screen
Logical Port Fields
Logical Port
Selects the logical port to be configured. Three logical ports are available.
Get Data
Click this button to display the saved configuration parameter for the selected logical port.
Pre-String
(Hex)
Provides the control character string to send to the printer before the first character of the job is sent to the
printer. One example of such an application would be switching to landscape mode when printing to the logical
port. The string is made up of the hexadecimal code of the corresponding ASCII characters, as in these
examples:
ASCII = [Esc]&|0O
Hexadecimal = 1B266C304F
ASCII=[Esc]&|1O
Hexadecimal = 1B266C314F
An ASCII to hexadecimal number conversion table is include in the appendix.
Post-String
(Hex)
Provides the control character string to send to the printer after the last character of the job is sent to the
printer. The character string must be in hexadecimal format as illustrated in the String Before Job example
above.
Convert LF
to CR/LF
If checked, adds a carriage return (CR) every time the line feed (LF) character code is received by the print
server when print data is sent to this logical printer port. Generally this should be unchecked. It may be needed
for compatibility between Unix and Windows.
