Working with Print Device Modes
After you define the functions for a print device definition, you can combine
these functions into modes.
A mode is a combination of functions that you define to allow the print
device to meet specific printing needs.
For example, you could create a “Final Printout” mode for the HP LaserJet
that would include the functions for 10 cpi, Emphasized printing, and Near-
letter quality printing.
As a network supervisor, you must determine what your printing needs are
and then define the modes you will need.
NOTE: In most printers, the order of the functions is important. See your printer’s
documentation for more details.
Creating Print Device Modes
Use the following procedure to create a new mode.
Procedure
1 From the “Modify Existing Device” page, select “Create Mode.”
The “Create New Mode” page appears.
2 Enter a name for the new mode in the “Mode Name” field.
You can choose any 8-character name that begins with a letter. You should use
names that reflect the purpose of the print device mode.
For example, you might have modes for different types of documents like
memos or reports, or for different user's preferred settings, or for the
requirements of different papers or forms that you use.
3 Select the function that you want to be executed first from the “Device Functions”
list; then choose “Add Below.”
4 Select the function that you want to be executed next from the “Device
Functions” list; then select “Add Below.”
You can select the same function more than once if the mode requires it.
