Strings
A service is a resource that can be accessed by computers that wish to print to the print server. The TROY
PocketPro 100S print server provides the following predefined services (do a SHOW SERVICE command in the
print server remote console to get a list of available services).
Service Definition
TWC_xxxxxx_P1 Parallel port binary service
BINARY_P1 Parallel port binary service
TEXT_P1_TX Parallel port TCP/IP text service (adds carriage return after each line feed)
POSTSCRIPT_P1 Parallel port PostScript service (switches PJL-compatible printer to PostScript mode)
PCL_P1 Parallel port PCL service (switches PJL-compatible printer to PCL mode)
TWC_xxxxxx_P1_AT Parallel port AppleTalk service
The "xxxxxx" is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (for example, TWC_009C53_P1). Any of the services,
not just the user-defined ones, can be modified to meet a user's particular requirements.
The TROY PocketPro 100S print server provides the powerful capability to customize any of the services to meet
specific user requirements through the use of setup and reset strings. Such strings are printer command
sequences that are sent to the printer before or after the print job. For example, you could define one of the
services to provide landscape mode printing by defining a setup string that contains the appropriate command to
put the printer into landscape mode.
The TROY PocketPro 100S print server provides several predefined strings for popular PCL, PostScript, and PJL
(the Page Job Language used by new Hewlett-Packard and other printers) commands. These include (do a SHOW
SERVER STRING command in the remote console to see the available strings):
