Add a Label Printer
to the
/etc/printcap File
How can a label printer be
added to the
/etc/printcap file?
If using a Seiko Label Printer (shelf labels)
attached to the VolServ host, the following
example entry in the /etc/printcap file
can be tried. The lp and sd entries may
have to be modified:
#
shelflabel:\
:lp=/dev/ttya:sd=/var/spool/
lpd:\
:br#9600:ms=litout,-cstopb,-
icrnl:
#
If using an Intermec Label Printer
(barcode labels) attached to the VolServ
host, the following example entry in the
/etc/printcap file can be tried. The lp
and sd entries may have to be modified:
#
barcodelabel:\
:lp=/dev/ttyb:sd=/var/spool/
lpd:\
:br#9600:ms=evenp:

Enable Printers to
Pop Up
How can additional
printers be added to the
GUI pop-up window? This
pop-up window appears
when the right mouse
button is pressed while the
prompt cursor is in the
printer text line.
If using a label printer, modify the
$VS_
DIR/config/label_printers.config
file and add the appropriate printer name.
If using other printers, modify the
$VS_ DIR/config/printers.config file
and add the appropriate printer name.
Cycle vswin to make all changes
effective.
