Intermate100 and Intermate101 Print Server Administration Manual 122
Processing Facilities: Physical Printers = Target Printers
17.3. Physical Printers = Target Printers
17.3.1. Local Printer
When the Intermate1xx
is attached to a printer, this printer is
known as the “local” printer. Because the
Intermate1xx
attaches
to the parallel port, the configurable parameters are grouped
under the heading “Parallel Port”.
17.3.2. Network Printers Using “NDO”
If you enable the Network Destination Option (NDO), you can
configure and use up to four network destinations.
The printers you choose for this should support the status
information nodes defined in the Printer MIB (RFC1759) and
some host information nodes of the Host Resources MIB
(RFC1518).
Printers without this support can be used, but no useful moni-
toring information will be provided in the “Target Printer Infor-
mation” provided by the Intermate1xx
. (Target Printer
Information is described on page 174.)
17.3.3. The “System Target Printer”
The system target printer is the physical printer on which status
information and help can be printed from the HTTP-based
menu. By default this is the local printer. With Network Destina-
tion Option (NDO) enabled and configured, you can specify a
printer at a network destination instead.
The system target printer has another special feature which we
will come back to in the discussion of logical printers which can
be used to “carry” the print stream to the target printer.
