Advanced Printing

The Advanced Printer Setup window enables you to define printer parameters by sending <Esc> sequences to the printer. The Advanced Printing settings are relevant to all printing that is directed to a file or to a physical device (LPT1 or LPT2).

There are three distinct value types:

• Use Connection Settings: Printing will be performed based on the user's pre-defined connection settings in respect to the particular field. The same applies for all the fields when the user selects Use Connection Settings.

• Use Host Value/Use Default: When the printing session originated from the host, PowerTerm applies the host's settings. Otherwise PowerTerm Server uses the default settings.

• User defined: User defines the specific values, which will be applied to his printing session.

For more information see Advanced Printing Settings.
