SERIES PRINTERS.
Virtual Forms Selection
The Virtual Forms Selection (
VFS
) capability on the N3300 Series printer allows
automatic selection of printer profiles based on the active interface (serial/parallel). Since
each printer profile contains all form features (paper path, form length, LPI, CPI etc.), using
VFS allows automatic paper path selection (on dual tractor models) and form configuration
with
no host
programming.
On single tractor models the form will be parked (after tearing off) and the user requested to
load the new one when VFS is used.
On models equipped with the optional
“Quik-Cutter”
, the forms will be automatically cut
when changing from one paper path to another.
VFS is configured by setting the following two features and configuring the LAN interface
and host computer to use either the serial or parallel ports.
VFS may also be configured so that the print jobs from the Network Host will select a
certain profile and print jobs from a local host will select a different profile. To allow this,
connect a local host to either the parallel or the serial interface on the printer and configure
the Network Host to use the remaining interface port.
