Print on Direct Socket printer

Print on Direct Socket printer

This workflow component can be used, if you have too many printers to register them manually. The use of this component requires, that you have a license for InterformNG2, that enables the use of an unlimited number of printers.

With this component you print directly to a LAN attached, physical printer via port 9100, so the print output is not seen on any local printer queue.

 

The parameters for this component are:



  1. Template
    The template (both InterformNG2 and InterformNG templates), that the input file is to be merged with. This can be a fixed value, but can also be set as an XPath expression.
  2. Mime type
    The printer data stream, that is to be sent to the printer. Possible values are:
      DP for Direct Protocol (This a legacy printer language, that should be avoided and is supported 'as-is').
      PCL for Print Control Language (PCL5)  - supported by most laser printers.
      PCL6 for PCL6 output. Many laser printers support PCL6.
      PDF Sends the print data stream as a PDF file. This requires, that the printer is PDF compatible (some laser printers are).
      ZPL for ZPLII. This require, that the printer is fully ZPLII (Zebra Printing Language) compatible.
  3. DPI
    Dots Per Inch. The resolution of the printer. Select 600 for laser printers.
  4. Printer address
    The name or IP-address of the physical printer.
  5. Socket port
    The port number to use. This is optional. Port number 9100 is used if this is not filled out.
