5.2 Data Source Selection
The figure above shows the Data Source selection screen. Similar to the Job
selection screen, data can be loaded from a local or 1050 Remote TCP interface. The
possible options for local data are None (no data), Fixed data source (the same data is
always loaded at print time), Operator Selected, shown selected above, (operator
selects local flat file at print time), and Remote Database.
The Remote Database option allows the specification of a remote SQL database
that can be accessed via ADO.NET data providers. An appropriate provider must be
installed for the desired database. All locally installed providers will be listed in the drop
down list box below “Select ADO Provider”. After this is selected, the correct ADO.NET
connection string must be entered to connect to that database. Familiarity with the
format of the ADO.NET connection string for your provider is essential for correct
operation. Finally, the SQL query that will return the data desired for printing must be
entered. This must be a valid SQL statement for the provider and database selected.
The columns selected will be used in the order they appear in the result set as the
values of the data field in the layout job. For example, Field 1 in a job will be the first
column in the SQL results set. The correct operation of the remote database can be
verified in the print screen at print time.
If the Data selection is Remote, data can only be loaded via the 1050 Remote TCP
interface or plugin.
“Allow Reprints” indicates whether the operator should be able to re-print data for a
job. If this is not checked, a user with “Configure Printer” access, either administrator or
Maintenance operator by default, are the only users able to reset the print count for a job.
If this is not checked, the “Increment” field will be enabled. This number indicates how
much the record count for a job will be incremented when a print session is stopped.
