Destinations/Queues
For every I/O port on the Ethernet Interface, there is at least one
pre-defined logical print queue or destination to accept print jobs
destined for it. This includes print job that is sent directly to the I/O
port, such as port 9100. These queue or destination names are
pre-defined but can be changed by the user.
Models
For every destination or queue, there is a pre-defined model
associated with it. The model defines how the print job will be
processed as it passes through to the printer. Models are a set of
mini filters that can be used to modify the print data stream. The
functions available for each model are as follows:
1. Insert carriage return after line feed
2. Insert a banner page before or after each print job
3. Insert header strings to
•
Print in landscape mode
•

4. Insert trailer strings to
•
Reset the printer once the print job completes
•

•

5. Log one or all of the following information as each print job
passes through the model
•
Job ID and username
•
User ID and three messages per job about the start and
finish
•
Checksum value of the data transferred

Miscellaneous messages from the printer
