Using Logical Printers

Adding Character Strings

Use the following sample procedure to add MIB to the SNMP manager:
1. Log in to the printer's FTP server.
2. Upload MIB file/snmp/Tally.mib to the SNMP manager.
3. Insert MIB as described in the SNMP administration
software manual.
The MIB file contains a menu object, a printer status and management
object, and a trap object. The menu object allows you to view or change
the settings of the printer's network interface. The printer status and
management object allows you to monitor functions of the printer, such
as job status through the network interface. The trap object returns
various error messages to the SNMP manager.
For details of MIB, refer to the MIB file (Tally.mib) by using any text
editor.
Logical Printers allows your printer to automatically filter print data in
various ways by simply selecting a logical printer to print to.
With Logical Printers you can:
• Add character strings before and after print data.
• Replace character strings in print data.
• Convert data from ASCII to PostScript.
The network interface has eight logical printers that you can set by using
any of the configuration methods outlined above.
In the default status, logical printers 1 to 4 do not change the print data
and logical printers 5 to 8 add CR control characters to LF control
characters.
A logical printer functions as a filter between the network and printer. For
example, some PostScript drivers have no code indicating the end of the
job (0x04). This problem can be solved by configuring the Logical
Printers function to add this code to the end of any print jobs sent to the
logical printer.
Note:
If character string replacement is frequently used, the network
interface throughput falls considerably.
The character string function can send the printer a control command
before and after each print job. This function can be set differently for
each logical printer.
Enter all character strings as hexadecimal numeric values.
