HP 640n Print Server manual 14LPD Queues tab settings, Queue Name, Prepend String Name

If LPD printing is enabled, ten different named print queues are available. Four of these queues are configured automatically and their parameters cannot be changed. You can configure the remaining six queues.

NOTE: Value-based print servers do not support user-defined LPD queues.

You can set up the six modifiable queues with character strings, such as job control commands, that are automatically added before or after the print job. You can define up to eight named strings, setting each queue so that the named string either precedes (Prepend String Name) or follows (Append String Name) the print data.

To set up a user-defined print queue, first define string names to prepend or append to the print job using the appropriate queue type. You specify print queue use by setting up an LPD printer that uses that queue. For example, if you set up a string “a” with a value of “abc” and string “z” with a value of “xyz”, you can define print queue “az_queue” with a prepend string of “a”, and append string of “z”, and a queue type of RAW. When you send a print job consisting of <formatted_text> through queue az_queue, the job sent to the printer is “abc<formatted_text>xyz”.

CAUTION: Avoid using lowercase and uppercase characters to differentiate queue names. Management of LPD queues by other tools (such as Telnet) can yield unpredictable results.

LPD Queue Parameters for setting up LPD queues are described in Table 4-14LPD Queues tab settings on page 88.

Table 4-14LPD Queues tab settings

Item	Description
Queue Name	Queue name. Enter up to 32 alphanumeric characters. Define up to six queues.
Prepend String Name	Enter the prepend string name. (These precede the print data.) You define string names/
	values using the String Table at the bottom of the page.
	You can concatenate multiple string names using a plus (+) character. For example, to
	prepend two separate strings, enter the following:
	<stringname1>+<stringname2>
	In the example, stringname1 and stringname2 are specified as two separate string names
	with different values.
Append String Name	Enter the append string name. (These follow the print data.) You define string names/values
	by using the String Table at the bottom of the LPD Queues page.
	You can concatenate multiple string names using a plus (+) character. For example, to
	append two separate strings, enter the following:
	<stringname1>+<stringname2>
	In the example, stringname1 and stringname2 are specified as two separate string names
	with different values.
