Getting Started

CE - Direct Print Data To The Print Manager

The Current System Printer Driver box displays the name of the currently selected
system printer when both the Use Network Printer (LPR) and Print Direct To Port
options are not selected.

Clicking the Configure button will display a Print Manager dialog box which enables
you to specify printer settings.

If you find a through print results in data being split into lines, each treated as a
separate print job, specify a time in the Seconds Close Delay box (e.g. 5 seconds).
This will enable the next line of data to be sent before the print job is assumed to have
finished and therefore prevents the print job from being closed prematurely. When set
to 0, printing will not start until a ‘print end of job’ command is received from the
host. Entering any other number will cause printing to start after the specified number
of seconds have elapsed, regardless of whether the ‘print end of job’ command has
been received from the host. If you require the port to be kept open all the time (to stop
the printer resetting) enter -1 (minus one).

XPe - Direct Print Data To The Print Manager

The Printer list box lists the printers handled by the Print Manager. You can select
from this list when the Use Network Printer (LPR) option is not selected.

Clicking the Advanced button will display the standard Print Manager dialog box
which enables you to specify printer settings.

The Microsoft Windows Print Manager normally controls all print formatting,
translates host characters to supported printer characters, and also provides a spooling
facility. A disadvantage of using the Print Manager is that any print formatting escape
sequences received from the host are stripped. If you want to use the Print Manager but
disable its print formatting process so that the original escape sequences from the host
are retained, select the PassThru option. (Note that the PassThru option will be
unselectable if the printer driver currently selected does not support this facility.)

If you find a through print results in data being split into lines, each treated as a
separate print job, specify a time in the Seconds Close Delay box (e.g. 5 seconds).
This will enable the next line of data to be sent before the print job is assumed to have
finished and therefore prevents the print job from being closed prematurely. When set
to 0, TeemTalk will not start printing until it receives a ‘print end of job’ command
from the host. Entering any other number will cause TeemTalk to print after the
specified number of seconds have elapsed, regardless of whether the ‘print end of job’
command has been received from the host. If you require the port to be kept open all
the time (to stop the printer resetting) enter -1 (minus one).
