you have defined one with the configuration program) of the port you want
as your new output port in the Parameter window. Subsequent jobs will be
sent to this peripheral until you change the connection again. Note that
other users can also use this port/peripheral; if you want exclusive access
to a peripheral, you must use either the

Use this command to reserve a peripheral (output port), so that only you
(your input port) will have access to it. Enter the name or number of the
output port to which the peripheral is attached in the Parameter window. The
peripheral will be reserved until you cancel the reservation. You can have only
one peripheral reserved at a time. (This command is sometimes also referred
to as
