Print Server
Configuration
(Optional)
To configure the PC workstation so that DOS applications can print transparently to the TROY PocketPro 100S
(you may also use this procedure if you do not have Windows-specific NetWare drivers), use the DOS editor to
add a command with the following format to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on your PC:
capture l=n q=queuename ti=timeout
The n is the number of the parallel port you wish to redirect, queuename is the name of the queue you created (if
you using NetWare 4.xx in NDS mode, you may specify p=printername instead of the queue, where printername
is the name of the NDS printer; be sure to enter the entire directory context of the printer), and timeout is a the
number of seconds the file server will send data to the printer after the application last writes to a file (use at least
5 seconds for DOS applications and at least 50 seconds for Windows applications, and you may need to increase
the values if you are unable to print). For example, if your queue is called myqueue and you wish to use LPT1
with a timeout of 5 seconds, you would enter:
capture l=1 q=myqueue ti=5
After the workstation is restarted, you will be able to print from applications programs as if the printer were
directly connected to the LPT1 parallel port.
Test the queue by printing a small job from an application program like the Windows 98 Paint Accessory
program (make sure that the program is set up to print to the correct print queue if the TROY PocketPro 100S is
not assigned to service the default queue). The file will be spooled to the TROY PocketPro 100S for printing and
should print on the printer within a short period of time. If it does not, double-check your configuration; and if
necessary, refer to the Troubleshooting chapter of this manual for additional information.
The default parameters for the TROY PocketPro 100S can be changed via the WebXAdmin or XCONFIG utility
to meet a wide variety of user needs. The procedure and configuration commands are described in Appendix A
in this manual.
