How does the system use the Printer, Printers, and PrtType:XXX control groups?

The Printers control group lists the types of printers you have.

The Printer control group specifies the default printer.

The PrtType:XXX control group defines the individual printer settings for each type or printer. The system uses these options when printing.

For instance, the following tells the system that you have two printers defined (PCL and PDF) and that PDF is the default. The options in the PrtType:PDF control group define the settings for the PDF Print Driver.

< Printers >

		PrtType = PCL

		PrtType = PDF

< Printer >

		PrtType = PDF

< PrtType:PDF >

		Device		= E:\TEST.PDF

		Bookmark	= Yes,Page

		DownLoadFonts	= No,Enabled

		Module		= PDFW32

		PageNumbers	= Yes

		PrintFunc	= PDFPrint

		SendOverlays	= No,Enabled

		SendColor	= Yes,Enabled

		PrintViewOnly	= No

		SplitText	= No

		SplitPercent	= 50

		Class		= PDF

		DisplayMode	= UseOutlines

		PaperSize	= 0

		FontCompression	= 2

Note

The PDF printer, called the PDF Print Driver, is a add-on for some configurations. For instance, it is included in Docupresentment (IDS) licenses, but not in PPS licenses. Contact your sales representative for more information.
