•Capture to print queue LaserJet4

•The server connection is to Sales

•Capture to network printer P1

•Timeout in 5 seconds

Using CAPTURE Login Scripts or Profiles

You can use login scripts or profiles to automatically set up port captures when you log in to the network. Login scripts and profiles are similar to configurable batch files and are executed by the LOGIN utility.

You can use login scripts and profiles to

•Capture ports to network printer and queues

•Display messages

•Set environment variables

•Execute programs or menus

Login scripts and profiles work the same way for both DOS and

MS Windows workstations. However, you must run the login script or profile before loading MS Windows. You cannot run them from an MS Windows session or DOS box.

See the following references for more information about login scripts and profiles:
