NetGear Print Server Manual

Logical Printer

The logical printer screen is used to map different logical printer ports to printers attached to the Print Server. A logical printer port is used to specify a set of printer control commands to be sent to a printer for every print job sent through the logical port. Figure 3-8 shows the logical port screen and the following table describes its fields.

Logical Port Fields

Logical PortSelects the logical port to be configured. Three logical ports are available.

Get Data	Click this button to display the saved configuration parameter for the selected logical port.
	Provides the control character string to send to the printer before the first character of the job is sent to the
	printer. One example of such an application would be switching to landscape mode when printing to the logical
	port. The string is made up of the hexadecimal code of the corresponding ASCII characters, as in these
Pre-String	examples:
	ASCII = [Esc]&0O
(Hex)
	Hexadecimal = 1B266C304F
	ASCII=[Esc]&1O
	Hexadecimal = 1B266C314F
	An ASCII to hexadecimal number conversion table is include in the appendix.
Post-String	Provides the control character string to send to the printer after the last character of the job is sent to the
(Hex)	printer. The character string must be in hexadecimal format as illustrated in the String Before Job example
	above.
Convert LF	If checked, adds a carriage return (CR) every time the line feed (LF) character code is received by the print
to CR/LF	server when print data is sent to this logical printer port. Generally this should be unchecked. It may be needed
	for compatibility between Unix and Windows.
