Setup Menus
You can direct print data to a printer handled by the Print Manager, a specific port, or a network printer.
CE - Direct Print Data To The Print Manager
When running TeemTalk for Windows CE, the Current System Printer Driver box displays the name of the currently selected system printer when both the Use Network Printer (LPR) and Print Direct To Port options are not selected.
Clicking the Setup button will display a Print Manager dialog box that enables you to specify printer settings.
If you find a through print results in data being split into lines, each treated as a separate print job, specify a time in the Seconds Close Delay box (e.g. 5 seconds). This will enable the next line of data to be sent before the print job is assumed to have finished and therefore prevents the print job from being closed prematurely. When set to 0, printing will not start until a ‘print end of job’ command is received from the host. Entering any other number will cause printing to start after the specified number of seconds have elapsed, regardless of whether the ‘print end of job’ command has been received from the host. If you require the port to be kept open all the time (to stop the printer resetting) enter
XPe - Direct Print Data To The Print Manager
When running TeemTalk for Windows XPe, the Printer list box lists the printers handled by the Print Manager. You can select from this list when the Use Network Printer (LPR) option is not selected.
Clicking the Setup button will display a Print Manager dialog box that enables you to specify printer settings.
The Microsoft Windows Print Manager normally controls all print formatting, translates host characters to supported printer characters, and also provides a spooling facility. A disadvantage of using the Print Manager is that any print formatting escape sequences received from the host are stripped. If you want to use the Print Manager but disable its print formatting process so that the original escape sequences from the host are retained, select the PassThrough option. (Note that the PassThruogh option will be unselectable if the printer driver currently selected does not support this facility.)
If you find a through print results in data being split into lines, each treated as a separate print job, specify a time in the seconds Close Delay box (e.g. 5 seconds). This will enable the next line of data to be sent before the print job is assumed to have finished and therefore prevents the print job from being closed prematurely. When set to 0, TeemTalk will not start printing until it receives a ‘print end of job’ command from the host. Entering any other number will cause TeemTalk to print after the specified number of seconds have elapsed, regardless of whether the ‘print end of job’ command has been received from the host.
