Table 4-13 LPD Queue Parameters (continued)
Item
Queue Type
Default Queue Name
String Name
Value
To set up a user-defined print queue, you first define the strings, assign them as prepend or append
strings, and define the queue type. Once you have defined an LPD queue, you specify its use by
setting up an LPD printer that uses that queue. For instance, if you set up string "a" with a value of
"abc" and string "z" with a value of "xyz", you can define print queue "az_queue" with a prepend
string of "a", an append string of "z", and a queue type of "raw". Then, when you send a print job
consisting of <formatted_text> through queue az_queue, the job sent to the printer is
"abc<formatted_text>xyz".
Instructions for setting up an LPD printer are different for different operating systems; refer to
Printing for details.
Example. If you had an LPD printer and wanted to reset it at the start of each print job, you could set
up a user-defined print queue named "clear_printer" that issues a PCL reset command (Escape-E) at
the beginning of each job. You could set this up as follows:

Description
Processing instruction for the queue. Choose from these four queue types:
■ RAW—No processing. The line printer daemon treats the data in a raw queue as a print
job that has already been formatted in PCL, PostScript, or HP-GL/2, and sends it to the
printer without modification. (Note that any user-defined prepend or append string will
be added to the job in the appropriate position.)
■ TEXT—Carriage return added. The line printer daemon treats data in text queues as
unformatted or ASCII text, and adds a carriage return to each line before sending it to
the printer.
■ AUTO—Automatic. The line printer daemon uses autosensing to determine whether the
print data should be sent as raw or text.
■ BINPS—Binary PostScript. This instructs the PostScript interpreter that the printjob is to
be interpreted as Binary PostScript data.
Name of the queue to be used if the queue specified for a print job is unknown. By default,
the Default Queue Name is AUTO.
Name of a character string. You may define up to eight character strings for use in LPD
queues; this parameter names the string, and the Value parameter defines the content of
the string. Prepend and Append string names (specified in the table at the top of the browser
window) must be chosen from the names specified here. The string name can be up to 32
characters long, and can consist of any displayable ASCII characters.
The content of the string. The String Name parameter names the string; the Value
parameter defines its content. When a string name is specified for a prepend or append
string (in the table at the top of the browser window), the line printer daemon sends the
value of that string to the printer before or after the print data (as appropriate).
Character values can be anywhere in the extended ASCII range of 0 to 255 (hex 00 to FF).
You can specify a non-printing character using its hexadecimal value, by entering a
backslash followed by two hexadecimal characters. For example, to enter the escape
character (hex 1B), type in \1B. If your string includes the backslash character itself, specify
it as \5C. The maximum number of characters you can type into this field is 240. The
characters in the field are checked for hexadecimal values, converted if necessary, and
stored internally. The maximum number of characters stored internally in the string is 80;
any characters that exceed this are discarded.
