Logical printers
Logical Printers can be used to create a "Virtual" printer. For example, to create a Landscape
printer, you could define a Logical Printer as follows:
Another logical printer could be used to print Unix-format text files for a DOS printer, by
converting Unix-style LF (Line Feeds) to DOS-style LF/CR (Line Feed, Carriage Return)
pairs.
IOPRINT+ Print Server models with 1 parallel port support 3 Logical Printers, otherwise they
support 8 Logical Printers. The names (L1..L8) cannot be changed. Each Logical Printer has
4 settings as shown below.

each print job.
