Properties
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) Formatted 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 contains 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 variable, 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 PReS Workflow 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 commands 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.
