Configuring Serial Printer Connections

Step 2: Configuring Advanced Line Properties

New print jobs from FASTPTCP are allowed according to the Term Type setting on the

Adv. Line tab dialog box as follows:

Set Term Type to Hardcopy.

To configure advanced line properties, click the Adv. Line tab. The Adv. Line tab dialog

box is displayed as shown in Figure 8-7

Hardcopy Specifies that the session is only allowed when the CTS signal

is present. (The CTS signal generally indicates that the printer

is powered on, is online, and is ready to accept data.) This

setting prevents the AWAN access server from accepting the

beginning portion of a Spooler job, or even an entire small job,

when it is out of paper or is otherwise unavailable. In this

situation, print data might remain invisibly buffered within the

AWAN access server until the printer is ready.

Any setting except

Hardcopy

Specifies that print data is accepted by the AWAN access

server as long as the DSR signal is present at the port.
