Chapter 3   Printer Driver
3-12  Print Controller INSTRUCTION MANUAL
New Driver
Click the [Details] tab, then click the [
▼] button next to the field [Print using the following driver]
to display the list of available print drivers. To use a print driver not listed, click the [New Driver]
button. When a driver is changed, the settings of presently shown properties are saved and the
properties of a newly selected driver is shown.
Capture Printer Port
When the device name and path are specified on the [Capture Printer Port] dialog shown by
clicking [Details] tab-[Capture Printer Port] button, a network printer can be allocated as a
virtual printer port.
In addition, when [Reconnect at Logon] of the [Capture Printer Port] dialog is selected, a virtual
printer port is automatically reconnected at log-on.
End Capture
When the virtual printer port is specified on the [End Capture] dialog shown by clicking [Details]
tab-[End Capture] button, you can delete a network printer allocated as a virtual printer port.
Timeout settings
By using [Details] tab-[Timeout Settings], the timeout value is set.
Not selected
The [Not Selected] box indicates the number it will take in seconds for a printer to become
available for printing, from the time the computer starts outputting print data. If the waiting time
exceeds the value set, a printer error is shown and the job is automatically cancelled.
Transmission retry
The [Transmission retry] box is used to set the amount of time in seconds until a printer is to
become available for printing and allow a computer that failed to output once to output the print
data again. If the waiting time exceeds the set value, a printer error is shown and the job is
automatically cancelled.
Spool settings
Set the method of spooling (temporary saving) the print data when it is sent to the printer on the
[Spool Settings] dialog shown by clicking [Details] tab-[Spool Settings] button.
Spool print job so program finishes printing faster
When [Spool print jobs so program finishes printing faster] is selected, Spool is set to on.
You may select either [Start printing after last page is spooled] or [Start printing after first page
is spooled] as a method of spooling.
When [Start printing after last page is spooled] is selected, it is possible to edit other
documents and start up other applications while printing, since print data is sent to a
printer after the printing process of applications has been completed.
When [Start printing after first page is spooled] is selected, print data is spooled page by
page and sent to a printer. Although this takes more time for an application to be released
from the printing process, this method is suitable in the event that free space for spooling
in your hard disk is small.
