LPR settings tab (Destination Configuration)

Use this tab to configure an LPR destination.

Documents routed to this destination will be sent to the server and queue specified. You can access this tab when you create or configure an LPR destination.

You can configure a default value and a dynamic override for each option. Default values are used to manage the documents as they are being sent to the destination. You can choose to dynamically override the default values using document properties and functions.

To	Do this
Insert document properties	Right-click in the desired override box, and click Insert Document Property. This displays a menu listing all of the available properties. You can select a property from the list or type the property name. If a property is selected and it contains a value, that value is processed instead of the default value.
Insert functions	Right-click in the box, click Insert Function, and choose the appropriate function.

LPR settings

Option	Description
LPD server	Specifies the IP address or equivalent host name of the print server where documents will be sent. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported.
Port	Specifies the port number for this LPR server. The default value is 515.
Queue	Specifies the name of the print queue on the LPD server.
Retry on timeout	Specifies if you want to retry printing to this destination if a timeout occurs.
Banner Class (-C)	Specifies the class name to be printed on the banner page. To print the banner page, the -L command must be used.
Banner Job Name (-J)	Specifies the job name to be printed on the banner page. To print the banner page, the -L command must be used.
Banner User (-L)	Causes the banner page to be printed. The user name can be omitted. The banner class (-C) and banner job name (-J) commands must precede this command in the control file to be effective.
Mail User (-M)	Sends mail to the specified mailbox (example, mailbox@hostname) upon completion of the print job.
User (-P)	Specifies the user identification of the entity requesting the printing job. This must be included in the control file.
Title (-T)	Provides a title for a file that is to be printed with the "p" command code. It is ignored by all other printing commands.
Print command	S pecifies the LPR print command. You can choose one of the following: CIF file (-Oc) — Plots the data file while treating the data as a CIF (CalTech Intermediate Form) graphics language. DVI file (-Od) — Prints the data file while treating the data as a DVI (TeX output) file. Plain text (-Of) — Prints the data file as plain text, providing page breaks as necessary. Some ASCII control characters may be discarded. This is the default configuration. Plot file (-Og) — Plots the data file while treating the data as output from the Berkeley UNIX plot library. Literal (-Ol) — Prints the data file without filtering the control characters. Pr (-Op) — Prints the data file with a heading, page numbers, and pagination. FORTRAN/ASA (-Or) — Prints the data file while interpreting the first column of each line as FORTRAN carriage control. The command also supports ASA. Verbatim (-Ov) — Sends the data file directly to the printer without additional processing. The behavior of the directive is dependent upon the printer that the queue feeds.
Control file first	Sends the control file before the data files. Once the control file has been received, the data files can be printed as they arrive. This is the default configuration.
Send copies as separate transmissions	Select this option to send documents to the destination multiple times (based on the copy count property of the document). When printing a duplex document, select this option if you want each document to print on its own sheets of paper. If not selected, a duplexed document that has odd number of pages will have its second copy’s first page print on the back of the first copy’s last page. When a printer is configured to use a separator page, select this option to allow the separator page to be inserted by the printer. If not selected, only the first copy would have a separator page. A separator page would not appear between each of the copies.
