Services in “Input Control”: Common Feature: How to Direct Output

22. Services in “Input Control”

This chapter covers configurations for Raw Socket, LPR, FTP Print, IPP, and ThinPrint.

22.1. Common Feature: How to Direct Output

Each service you configure must include a setting for how to direct output to a physical “Target Printer”. On print servers running release level 2111 or higher, the parameter is called “Output to”. On older releases the parameter is called “Use Logical Printer”.

Basics The default setting is always “Logical Printer 0" which will print to the “System Target Printer” [page 108]. If you are not using the Network Destination Option (NDO), the system target printer will always be the local printer where the print server is attached. For many purposes, you can just leave the output setting at the default value of Logical Printer 0.

Advanced Settings

The other possible settings are Logical Printer 1 - Logical Printer 8, inclusive. If you choose one of them, be sure that any pre-processing, post-processing or string substitution are cor- rect for the jobs you will be sending with this protocol and that the output from the logical printer will end up on the desired tar- get printer.

NDO NDO users who want to have output directed to a physical printer without engaging the logical layer have five additional choices: Local Printer, and Network Destination 1 - Network Destination 4, inclusive.

ThinPrint Please see the expanded information (page 166) on how to direct ThinPrint output to different printers.

More informa- tion

If you need help to understand how output is directed, please consult the chapter on “Processing Facilities”, especially the sections “Use Logical Printer/Output To” [page 124] and “The Configurable Logical Printers 1-8” [page 125]. Configuration tips for the various services may also be helpful.
