Destinations/Queues
For every I/O port on NIC, there is at least one pre-defined logical
print queue or destination to accept print jobs destined for it. This
includes print jobs that are sent directly to the I/O port, such as port
9100. These queue or destination names are pre-defined but can
be changed by the user.
Models
For every destination or queue, there is a pre-defined model
associated with it. The model defines how the print job will be
processed as it passes through to the printer. Models are a set of
mini filters that can be used to modify the print data stream. The
functions available for each model are as follows:
1. Insert carriage return after line feed
2. Insert a banner page before or after each print job
3. Insert header strings to
• Print using upper tray’s paper
• Printer using lower tray's paper
• Print in landscape mode
• Print in portrait mode
4. Insert trailer strings to
• Reset the printer once the print job completes
• Force the end of the job
• Perform a form feed at the end of the data
