By adding a Print sentinel, you automatically create a Sentinel printer of
the same name on the print server.
The Print documents stored in the print queue are analyzed by the Print
sentinel, which transcribes the information into print orders for
CODESOFT Run Time. The Print sentinel is associated with:
w a method for analyzing Print documents;
w an output printer selected earlier in CODESOFT Run Time; and
w print settings (number of labels to print, pages, etc.).
Note 1: The analysis method, output printer, and all print settings
can be modified from the Print document.
