Mounting Printer Forms
Printer forms can be designated in an effort to prevent your printer from
printing a print job on the wrong paper. When the print server detects a print
job in the queue, and that print job calls for a form different from the one
currently mounted in the intended printer, the print job will not be serviced
until a new form is mounted. Each printer form has a unique name and
number.
Mounting a printer form consists of two elements:
• Changing the paper. NetWare has no way of determining whether the paper was
actually changed or not. It relies on information it receives from the operator.
• Mounting the form through the software. This is the information that NetWare
receives from the operator and that is required in order for printing to continue.
To mount a printer form, you need to meet the following prerequisites.
