Chapter 1 Logical Printer Architecture

Destinations/Queues

For every I/O port on the Ethernet Interface, there is at least one pre-defined logical print queue or destination to accept print jobs destined for it. This includes print job that is sent directly to the I/O port, such as port 9100. These queue or destination names are pre- defined but can be changed by the user.

Models

For every destination or queue, there is a pre-defined model associated with it. The model defines how the print job will be processed as it passes through to the printer. Models are a set of mini filters that can be used to modify the print data stream. The functions available for each model are as follows:

1.Insert carriage return after line feed

2.Insert a banner page before or after each print job

3.Insert header strings to

•Print in landscape mode

• Print in portrait mode

4.Insert trailer strings to

•Reset the printer once the print job completes

•Force the end of the job

•Perform a form feed at the end of the data
