Chapter 3: Printer setup 35
3. When you have finished editing your printer settings, click OK.
Copy a printer To save time, you can create multiple instances of your printer. An instance of a
printer is essentially the same printer with different settings. Thus, you can save
different printer-specific settings in different instances of your printer.
For example, suppose you use the Cheshire System 4000 printer. With some jobs
you want to handle a maximum block size of 8192, and for other jobs you want to
handle a maximum block sizes up to 4096. You can set up a printer instance for
each and name the printer whatever you want.
1. Select the printer you want to copy.
2. Click the Copy button.
3. In the Copy Printer window, type a name for the new printer.
4. Click OK.
Show limited set of
printers
You can limit the displayed printers to certain types.To limit the displayed
printers, in the Show Printer Type box, select the types of printers you want to see
(Text, Inkjet, and/or Data Stream).
Option Description
DeviceName Use the DeviceName option when the output is sent directly to the
printer. Enter the name of a Windows printer driver here. The name you
type at the DeviceName option must match the name of your printer
exactly (spelling, case, and so on). We suggest copying and pasting.
For a network printer, you must also specify the path (for example,
\\server name or path\printer name ).
PadLines This option determines how the driver treats end-of-line situations. Set
to True to pad each line with spaces to the width of the label stock.
When you set PadLines to False, each line ends at the last character or
escape code.
PadPages You may find this setting useful if you are experiencing problems with
blank lines at the end of your label page. When the value is set to False,
these blank lines are removed.
InitCode If you want a printer initialization sequence, enter it here. The contents
of this option are output at the beginning of the print run.
ResetCode Use this option to set the printer reset sequence. The contents of this
option are output at the end of a print run.
LineFeedCode Use this option to override the default line feed sequence. This
sequence will be output at the end of each line of text. Label Toolbox
has a default LineFeedCode of \x0d\x0a.
PageFeedCode Use this option to send a page feed sequence. If setup, this sequence
will be output at the end of each page.
Note: You cannot turn off the active type of printer. For example, if the
design specifies a generic text printer, you cannot hide generic text printers.
