yourqueuename - This is the name of the queue on the OkiLAN 6100e+ and must end with 1, 2, 3 or 4, depending on the port selected to service the print jobs.

If FF, LF or NF are the last two letters of the queue name, the job will be converted accordingly. See pages IV-15 and IV-16 for more information on remote queue names.
