Chapter 3 Print Path Configuration

Print Path Configuration

The Ethernet Interface print path is the path a print job takes when it reaches the network adapter. First the job goes to a destination/ queue (e.g. d1prn) where it then passes through an associated model (e.g. m1) for extra processing and logpath (e.g., l1) for job and printer logging. Finally the job reaches the Ethernet Interface's I/O port (e.g. PRN) where it passes through to the attached printer. The “Print Path” form displays one destination's settings at a time. From here, you can then select another destination or you can go directly to an I/O port to configure port settings.

Destination Settings

Back Channel
