1.7 Logical Printers Overview (6030/6050)

A logical printer (virtual printer) is a group of saved print job settings for a particular data format, i.e., HP-GL, Versatec, TIFF, CALS, and PS/PDF. These saved settings, which are created using Print Services on Web, may include pen attributes, media type, print quantity, and the other parameters that define the print job that the logical printer will be required to perform. Logical printers are to printing as Stored Jobs are to copying, that is, both reduce setup time and increase efficiency by using previously saved job settings. A maximum of one hundred logical printers can be set up within one 6030/6050 Wide Format Printer or Copier/Printer for each supported data format.

Refer to "Chapter 4 Logical Printer Setup and Operation (6030/6050 only)" to learn how to set up logical printers.
