Printer Options
NOTE: The port driver (NPRINTER) status for a defined but unattached serial printer is
“Waiting for job” even though the printer is not attached, and the printer status is
“Running.” If a print job is put into the queue for this printer, the port driver status
changes to “Ready (Waiting for printer)” or “Printing job” but the printer status
changes to “Offline.”
Defined but unattached parallel printers show a status of “Not connected.”
• “Mounted Form” shows the number of the form that is currently mounted in
the printer. Only print jobs that specify this printer form number can be
printed until a new printer form is mounted by selecting “Mount Form.”
• “Service Mode” shows which service mode is being used by this printer and
its associated print queue. The Service Mode determines how jobs within a
print queue are organized for the most efficient use of the printer.
• “Current Job Information” includes all of the information about the print job
that is currently being printed on this printer. Most of this information can
only be changed by going to the print queue and selecting this print job from
the list of jobs.
“Print Queue” indicates the print queue that is submitting this print job.
“Description” indicates the banner name. By default, the banner name
with CAPTURE is the port and with NPRINT it is the filename.
“Job Number” is the print job ID.
“Form” shows which printer form this print job is using. This print job
cannot be printed unless this Form matches the “Mounted Form” field
above the “Current Job Information.”
“Copies Requested” indicates the number of copies of this print job that
the User who submitted it requested to be printed.
“Copies Complete” indicates how many of those copies requested have
been printed so far.
“Size of 1 Copy” indicates the size of each copy of this print job. This is
like the “File Size” field when you see the details of a print job within the
print queue.
“Bytes Printed” indicates the total number of bytes in one copy of a print
job that have been printed.
“Percent Complete” indicates how much of this print job is completed,
which is determined both by the size of one copy and the number of
