Output Method
The options that appear in this menu are the various methods of connecting the
output plugin to the physical printer, together with the print to file option. If you
choose
Network you must specify the correct IP address and port number in this
dialog. If you choose
File you must specify a valid location to produce the
file, as well as a valid file name template.
For Windows platforms, the standard options are:
Network, File, and LPT1:
(parallel). If your computer is equipped with a USB port, you may have an extra
entry, such as
USB Root Hub. This entry is not an appropriate choice for con-
necting to a printer; do not select it.
For Macintosh computers, the standard options are:
Network and File.
On all platforms you will see an extra entry if you are using an adapter cable to
convert between USB output and parallel interface input on the printer. The
entry consists of the prefix
USB:, followed by details of the device to which you
are sending output.
File Output: Change...
The text box alongside this button shows the location where the plugin will pro-
duce the output file.
