Changing the
Print Server
Configuration
(Optional)
Refer to your printer documentation if you do not know the proper reset string. Use the null string if you are
planning to reset the printer from the host software (for example, from a Windows driver). If you want to define
a new reset string, refer to Appendix B.
You can insert a printer reset command either before or after each job, although generally the reset goes at the
end of the job. TROY print servers allow you to define multiple services for a given port. This is useful, for
example, if you want to use different reset strings with the same printer. For example, you might want to define a
service for UNIX jobs that contains an <ESC-E> reset, and a different service for NetWare that has no reset.
Print jobs are normally sent to service 1 (TWC_XXXXXX_P1, where “XXXXXX” is the last six digits of
Ethernet address, for all protocols except TCP/IP and AppleTalk) or service 2 (BINARY_P1, for TCP/IP). Refer
to Appendix B for additional information on using services.
To change the printer reset on a TROY PocketPro 100S print server using the XAdmin32 utility, double-click on
the print server name, enter the password (ACCESS by default), and then click on the Services tab, double-click
on the desired service, and then select the appropriate Printer Control String.
Alternatively, you may use the remote console by typing in the following command:
SET SERVICE servicename EOT stringno
The "servicename" is the name of the service (do a SHOW SERVICE command for a list of services) and
stringno is the number of the string. For example to use string 3 (the PostScript CTRL-D reset) on the default
parallel port service, you would enter the following:
SET SERVICE BINARY_P1 EOT 3
In addition to changing the printer reset string, you can modify the TROY print server configuration in a number
of other ways. The procedure and commands for changing the configuration are described in Appendix A.
