About the Crown Print Monitor
The Crown Print Monitor transports print jobs to a print device using the TCP/IP protocol
and provides status information to the host via Print Manager. Its three main components
are status, send, and configuration. They’re explained in the following sections.
Status Component
This component obtains information from the printer, such as print job “go/nogo” and
error or warning conditions. Status information displays in Print Manager through the
print queue status dialog box. Status information comes from either the Windows 2000/
NT4/Me/98/95 Print Spooler, the Crown Print Monitor, or the printer, depending on where
the job is in the printing process. See chapter 3, “Troubleshooting,” and chapter 2, the
“Using the Crown Print Monitor” section, for more information on status messages.
Send Component
The Crown Print Monitor uses TCP/IP socket 35 for high-performance data transfer.
This component transports print jobs to a specific print device. When a job is sent to a
print device by the Network Print Monitor, it utilizes all allocated Windows 2000/NT4/
Me/98/95 operating system resources to transport the job. If a connection is broken while
a job is being transported, the monitor discards the remaining data and gives control back
to the Crown Print Monitor Print Spooler. Any other pending jobs remain in the queue
until the print device problem is corrected.
Configuration Component
This component configures the port name, Internet address, time delays, types of events to
record in the application log, and problem sound alert. It consists of the Add Port and
Configure Port dialog boxes. All configuration changes made via this component are
automatically recorded in the Windows 2000/NT4/Me/98/95 system registry.
