B-2 Using Services
where "xxxxxx" is the last six digits of the Ethernet address
(for example, XCD_009C53_P1). If the LN03 option is
installed on an XConnect II (this is not applicable to the
XConnect 100), the service names for the parallel port
service ends in "LN" instead of "P1" (for example,
XCD_033355_LN). Note that any of the services, not just
the user-defined ones, can be modified to meet a user's
particular requirements.
TROY XCD print servers provide 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 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):
