NOTE:
The Logging Options dialog supports logging print jobs and recording printer code to files for debugging purposes. This code can be submitted to support personnel if problems arise in the operation of the driver.
Logging Options - When the Logging Options button is clicked, the following display screen will appear.
Logging - Supports logging print jobs and recording printer code to files for debugging purposes. This code can be submitted to support personnel if problems arise in the operation of the driver.
∙Log Print Jobs - This check box must be checked in order to generate a log file that will list the name of each document and the printer it was printed to. Jobs are logged in the order they are spooled.
∙Log File - Into this text box, type the full path name of the log file or use the Browse button to locate an existing log file. It is possible to share a log file between multiple printers by specifying the same file name in each driver.
∙View Log button - View the current log file when this button is clicked.
∙Clear Log button - Erase the current log file when this button is clicked. The next job printed will be the first job in a new log file.
Printer Code Recording - Printer Code Recording allows recording of all of the print code sent to the printer to a file. Unlike using the Print to File option in most applications, Printer Code Recording allows printing to the printer and to a file simultaneously.
∙Record Printer Code - This check box must be checked to record printer code to the specified directory. Each print job will generate a separate file.
∙Overwrite Files With Same Name - The driver will name print code files by adding a .PRN extension to the name of the document being printed. Normally, if the file already exists, a unique name is generated by adding a number to the end of the new filename. If this check box is checked, it will cause the driver to overwrite existing files.
∙Directory - Print code files will be recorded to the directory name entered into this text box or the Browse button can be checked to browse for an existing directory.
∙File Listing - The window on the left of the dialog is a list of the print code files in the current directory, to allow performing operations on individual files using the buttons to the right.
