Creating print job configurations

1. Choose the ``Print Job Configuration'' page of a ``User: <name>'', ``Organization'' or ``Organizational Unit'' dialog.

   The ``Print Job Configuration'' dialog appears.

   • Name lists the names of the print job configurations that can be used. Print job configurations that were defined in any Organization or Organizational Unit above this object are included in this list.

   • Owner lists the object where each configurations was defined.

   • New opens the ``Print Job Configuration'' page, where you can enter a name and parameters for a new print job configuration.

   • Modify opens the ``Print Job Configuration'' page for a highlighted print job configuration, where you can view and modify the parameters of the configuration.

   • Delete removes the selected print job configuration from the list. It can no longer be used.

   • Default marks the selected print job configuration as the default configuration, as noted by the printer icon.

   • OK saves changes in all pages of this dialog.

   • Cancel closes this dialog without saving changes in any page.

2. Select New.

   The ``Print Job Configuration'' page appears.

3. Select and complete the fields appearing on this page, as follows:

   • Print Job Name lists the name of this print job configuration (as listed in the ``Job Configuration'' list box) that you specify to be used for a printing job. This field cannot be changed when you modify other fields later.

   • Number of Copies indicates how many copies of the file to print. The number of copies can range from 1 to 65,000.

   • File Contents allows you to choose either ``Text'' or ``Byte stream'' (the default).

     Choose ``Text'' when you want tabs to be converted to spaces. Also choose ``Text'' to print ASCII text.

     Choose ``Byte stream'' if you are printing from within an application and you want the application to handle the formatting commands. Also choose "Byte stream" if you will be downloading fonts on a laser printer.

   • Tab Size is the width in characters that each tab character should be expanded to. This field is only available if you select ``Text'' in ``File contents''.

   • Form Feed determines whether a form feed is sent when a job is completed.

   • Notify When Done determines whether a message is sent to the workstation of the print job originator when the job has finished printing.

   • Local Printer specifies which of your computer's parallel ports will be captured. The values listed are LPT1 through LPT9.

   • Auto end cap determines if the CAPTURE command automatically ends when a print job is completed.

   • Printer/Queue allows you to select the Printer or Queue object that the print job configuration should use. The ``Select Object'' dialog appears when the browser button is selected.

   • Device allows you to select which print device definition this print job configuration uses.

   • Mode allows you to select the mode this print job configuration uses. The modes listed are defined by the device definition you selected.

   • Form Name allows you to select which printer form this print job configuration uses.

   • Print Banner determines if this print job configuration includes a banner page at the beginning of each print job. If this check box is selected, the next two fields are available.

   • Name identifies the user who sent this print job. This is only valid if a banner page is printed.

   • Banner Name indicates the name of the print job. This is only valid if a banner page is printed.

   • Enable timeout determines if each print job will time out after a specified period of time. If this is selected, ``Timeout Count'' can be set.

   • Timeout Count field is the number of seconds that must pass without data being sent to the queue before the print job is closed. You must select ``Enable timeout'' to enter a value here. Timeout can range from 1 to 1000 seconds.

4. Choose OK.

   NOTE: The NET.CFG file now includes a network ``PRINTERS=number'' option that you may specify if you choose. This option allows you to specify the number of logical ports (0-9) you would like to be able to capture. The default is ``3''.

   If you specify a print job configuration that has a complex printer mode, you may need to increase the bytes (default 64, range 0 to 255) in the ``PRINTER HEADER=number'' option.

   See ``Print job configuration'' for more information.
