Prima 3 Driver Manual

This mechanism allows easy recognition of the port name of each single encoder device in a multiple printer (and encoder) environment by plugging them in one-by-one.

Creating the link between encoder and printer ID

When having identified the port name of an encoder that is connected to a specific printer, the link between both must be created so the driver knows on which port the encoding must be performed when printing on a certain printer ID.

This link is created by selecting the printer ID in the printer list, the encoder's port name in the port list and then pressing the "arrow-up" button to create the link. This procedure must be repeated for each encoder connected to a printer.

To reset all assignments for the current plugin, click on the "Clear" button.

To reset the assignment of a single printer, either select the dash "-" from the port list and assign it to a printer ID by clicking on the "arrow-up" button, or assign an already assigned port to another printer ID.

Note: Ports cannot be assigned to two printers at once!

The names of the ports differ from plugin to plugin, especially with USB encoders, as USB ports do not have common names.
