Mackie V7.0 manual Assigning a security level to a printer, 124

Administering devices Configuring Xprint V7.0

Example

–The old printer printer1 used the PCL HP_LASERJET but the new printer is a PostScript printer:

xpmod -dev printer1 -pc POSTSCRIPT -ct-

The -ct-option makes sure that the data format of the printer is adjusted to the default, which depends on the PCL.

i

You can only modify a PCL assigned to a printer if all the other printer options are compatible.

Example: A printer is defined via -pc HP_LASERJET and the default form LANDSCAPE (-ls LANDSCAPE). In this case, you can only modify the printer to EPSON-FXwith the -pcoption if you first modify the default form to PORTRAIT.

6.4.8Assigning a security level to a printer

Under Xprint V7.0 one of five security levels can be assigned to printers as well as to print jobs and users.

Xprint V7.0 assigns print jobs to a printer according to the security level of the job and the printer. This means that a print job can only be printed on a printer with at least the same security level. A print job with the security level CONFIDENTIAL, for example, can only be printed on printers with the security level CONFIDENTIAL or higher (SECRET, TOP_SECRET).

●Log in as the Xprint V7.0 administrator.

●If required, deactivate the printer:

xpchange -dev printer_name -st NOT_ACTIVE [-ju justification]

For printer_name specify the name of the printer whose security level you want to modify.

With the -jujustification option, you can define a comment justifying the new security level. This comment can be displayed with the xpstat -devcommand. The comment is automatically deleted when the -stoption is changed again with the xpchange -devcommand.

●To assign a specific security level to a printer, use the following command: xpmod -dev[selection] -slsecurity_level
