Chapter 7 Setting Up – Unix
The EasyLAN 100i has a powerful facility for altering the print
data. This means that your desired print format can be realized on
any type of printer. The following actions can be invoked from the
EasyLAN 100i:
• Strings can be added before and after the print data
• Strings within the print data can be substituted
If any of these actions are required, a Logical Printer is used to
change the print data before being sent to the printer port. There are
eight logical printers (PR1-PR8) that can be set up to filter the print
data.
The default logical printers settings are such that PR1–PR4 cause
no change to the flow of print data, while PR5–PR8 add CR to LF
control characters:
Logical Printer

PR1

PR2

PR3

PR4

PR5

PR6

PR7

PR8

Each logical printer can be set up using any standard Web browser
or by directly editing the config file.
Notes:
- The examples in this section describes how you can configure
the available logical printers using a standard Web browser. If
you want to set them directly by editing the config file, just
enter the values for the corresponding parameters.
- The examples should only be viewed as suggestions how to
configure the logical printers. Obviously, you should config-
ure them according to the needs of your network.
