LPR output printer queue properties are as follows:
General tab
l Printer address: Enter the IP address or host name of the printer receiving LPR jobs.
l Queue name: Enter the printer queue name. Based on printer and network requirements, this property may not be
required.
l Data type: Select the proper data type. Select (l) Binary data if the job file is a standard binary file. Select (f) For-
matted text to interpret the first character of each line of text as a standard FORTRAN carriage control character. Select
(d) DVI file if the job file contains data in the TeX DVI format. Select (o) PostScript file if the job file is a PostScript file.
Select (n) Ditroff format if the job file contains data in device independent troff. Select (t) Troff format if the job file con-
tains data in troff. Select (v) Sun raster file if the job file contains raster images. This ensures that the printer uses the
correct filter to interpret the data.
l Job name: Enter the job’s file name. By default, the variable %f (Job File Name) is used. You may use a different var-
iable, but you may not use a data selection. This information may be used for the printer’s banner page.
l Job owner name: Enter the job owner name. You may use a PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools variable.
Advanced tab
l Print speed: Enter the speed, in pages per minute (PPM), of the printer associated with the printer queue. This value
is used to determine how to divide jobs when you use the Queue Balancing option for load balancing.
l Commands: The list of available commands appears in this box. Select either Pre-job commands or Post-job com-
mands in the Selected box, and double-click a command from this list to add it to the appropriate list.
l Selected: Select either Pre-job commands or Post-job commands to add new commands to the appropriate list and to
see those commands that have already selected. Double-click a command to remove it from the selected list.
l Add: Click to add a new command to the list displayed in the Commands box. You must then edit the new command’s
description and value. Note that new commands are shared by all printer queues.
l Delete: Click to remove a command from the Commands box.
l Command description: Use this box to edit the description of the command currently selected in the Commands
box.
l Command value: Use this box to edit the code of the command currently selected in the Commands box. Use the
right-click menu for a list of standard printer control characters.
Note that if you plan to use an LPR output printer queue to send PlanetPress Design documents generated using the Optimized
PostScript Stream option, you should not enter data selections in the Printer address and Queue name variable property
boxes (see Variable Properties). If you do need to use information stored in the data to configure the LPR output printer queue,
you should first use Job info variables (see Job Information Elements and Job Info Variables) to store the information, and
then use these variables in the Printer address and Queue name variable property boxes.
