HP NetRider manual Setting Port Characteristics, Characteristic Description

Configuring LPD

The following table lists the print characteristics that you can configure:

Characteristic	Description
AUTOCR	Automatically inserts a carriage return. When you enable
	this option, the access server inserts a carriage return after
	each line feed character if there is no existing carriage
	return. The AUTOCR option applies only to ASCII text
	files.
CONNECTIONS	Specifies whether a user can queue a print job to a printer.
	You use this option to disable access to a printer
	temporarily for reasons such as routine maintenance or
	adding paper.
FLAGPAGE	Specifies a message that prints on the flag page that prints
	before the file data.
HEADER	Specifies whether a header page prints before the file data.
	You can set this option so that no header page prints if the
	access server does not know the user name at the start of the
	print job (for example, if the access server receives the data
	file before it receives the control file).
IDENTIFICATION	Specifies a text string (40 characters or less) that is
	associated with a printer.
TRAILER	Enables or disables printing of a trailer page after file data
	prints. You can set this option so that no trailer page prints
	if the access server does not know the user name at the start
	of the print job (for example, if the access server receives
	the data file before it receives the control file).
TYPE	Specifies ASCII or PostScript. Use this option to determine
	the kind of flag page or pages to send to the printer.
