XCounter OtherPrinter Port 
 
The XCounter OtherPrinter port sends jobs to other print queues. The OtherPrinter 
port cannot print to remote Windows printer shares - the queue must be located on 
the same NT printer host. 
The purpose of the OtherPrinter port is to support printers that use network protocols 
that are not directly supported by XCounter port monitors, such as AppleTalk and 
DLC, or if the preference is to keep using currently installed ports. Since the 
OtherPrinter port is printing to a queue instead of to an actual printer, it may move 
jobs to the queue faster than they can actually print. XCounter accounts for, and logs 
the job as soon as it has been sent to the output queue without knowing whether the 
job has been printed. This setting controls the number of jobs that can be in the output 
queue at any time. For example, a setting of one means that no jobs will be moved 
until the output queue is empty. 
Note: All page counting is manual when using OtherPrinter ports.
