Configuring the Workstation
Testing the Print Queue
Changing the Print Server Configuration (Optional)
To configure the PC workstation so that DOS applications can print transparently to the TROY PocketPro 100S (you may also use this procedure if you do not have
capture l=n q=queuename ti=timeout
The n is the number of the parallel port you wish to redirect, queuename is the name of the queue you created (if you using NetWare 4.xx in NDS mode, you may specify p=printername instead of the queue, where printername is the name of the NDS printer; be sure to enter the entire directory context of the printer), and timeout is a the number of seconds the file server will send data to the printer after the application last writes to a file (use at least 5 seconds for DOS applications and at least 50 seconds for Windows applications, and you may need to increase the values if you are unable to print). For example, if your queue is called myqueue and you wish to use LPT1 with a timeout of 5 seconds, you would enter:
capture l=1 q=myqueue ti=5
After the workstation is restarted, you will be able to print from applications programs as if the printer were directly connected to the LPT1 parallel port.
Test the queue by printing a small job from an application program like the Windows 98 Paint Accessory program (make sure that the program is set up to print to the correct print queue if the TROY PocketPro 100S is not assigned to service the default queue). The file will be spooled to the TROY PocketPro 100S for printing and should print on the printer within a short period of time. If it does not,
The default parameters for the TROY PocketPro 100S can be changed via the WebXAdmin or XCONFIG utility to meet a wide variety of user needs. The procedure and configuration commands are described in Appendix A in this manual.
