Printer Input

Used for receiving print from the Microsoft Windows spooler system.

The logical name of the Print Input module is displayed on the printer port list for a Windows printer:

Changing the Printer Name will not immediately update the port list in Windows. The list will be updated next time the configuration is transferred to the Lasernet Service. Lasernet Printer Ports that are not in use will automatically be deleted from the printer port list.

Printer Setup

In the Printer Setup tab, you can select a Windows printer name from the drop-down list. Select the same Windows printer as you have connected the Lasernet Printer Port to.

Selecting a Printer Name is only essential if you have defined a Master input printer in the environment settings and want to automatically create or synchronize input printers in Windows, at Lasernet service startup.

To learn more about the master input printer, see Environments in Lasernet Developer.

The Printer Name in the Printer Input module is only queried when using the master printer functionality. We recommend selecting the same Windows printer as you have connected the Lasernet Printer Port to.

The Timeout will close the connection between the Windows printer port and Lasernet Print Input module if a closing print job message has not been received from Windows in the defined number of seconds. This will prevent the print queue from hanging in case of a printing error.

EMF Settings

The EMF Settings are only used if a Windows printer has been installed with a Lasernet EMF driver and the job was not processed by the Lasernet Print Processor.

Do not retrieve page sizes prevents the Printer Input module from creating a list of system-defined JobInfos named NumInputPages, InputPageWidth and InputPageHeight.

Look for Lasernet EMF driver signature will look for a signature in Lasernet EMF Driver instead and retrieve a list of additional JobInfos if available in the print job.

In earlier versions of Lasernet, not detecting the pages sizes or looking for a driver signature in a print job, could improve speed, but its effects are negligible in Lasernet 11.

Maximum EMF pages in a job can be used to split up a spool job into chunks. The default setting is 0 (zero) and means that the incoming spool job will be processed as one large job. If the size of EMF spool job is larger than the available memory in the server, use this setting to break the job up into smaller, more manageable chunks.
