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.
