Intermate 100 Physical Printers = Target Printers, Local Printer, Network Printers Using NDO

Processing Facilities: Physical Printers = Target Printers

17.3. Physical Printers = Target Printers

17.3.1. Local Printer

When the Intermate1xx is attached to a printer, this printer is known as the “local” printer. Because the Intermate1xx attaches to the parallel port, the configurable parameters are grouped under the heading “Parallel Port”.

17.3.2. Network Printers Using “NDO”

If you enable the Network Destination Option (NDO), you can configure and use up to four network destinations.

The printers you choose for this should support the status information nodes defined in the Printer MIB (RFC1759) and some host information nodes of the Host Resources MIB (RFC1518).

Printers without this support can be used, but no useful moni- toring information will be provided in the “Target Printer Infor- mation” provided by the Intermate1xx. (Target Printer Information is described on page 174.)

17.3.3. The “System Target Printer”

The system target printer is the physical printer on which status information and help can be printed from the HTTP-based menu. By default this is the local printer. With Network Destina- tion Option (NDO) enabled and configured, you can specify a printer at a network destination instead.

The system target printer has another special feature which we will come back to in the discussion of logical printers which can be used to “carry” the print stream to the target printer.
