| | Device Data (ttaad3100s000) Use this session to define the various
output
devices that are used in an
LN environment. The
device types to which a print request can be sent in
LN are: - 打印机
- 逻辑打印机
- 附加到文件
- 改写文件
- 直接
- 屏幕
- Windows 打印机
- Windows Server 打印机
- Infor
Enterprise Report Printer
- 外部报表服务
注意 This session contains various options for external reporting
through Infor Reporting and Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services. These options
are not described in this help text. For details about the external reporting
options in this session, see these guides: - Infor Enterprise Server Connector for Infor Reporting Administration Guide (U9750 US)
- Infor Enterprise Server Plug-in for Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Administration Guide (U9656 US)
For every print request to a
LN Printer device an
intermediate print file "tmpxxxxx" is stored in directory $BSE/tmp.
For a Windows printer the intermediate print file
"tmpxxxx.bpf" is not stored in directory $BSE/tmp, but the file will be
transferred to the users PC and printed by the
LN Windows print
program BWPrint. The session is divided into three parts. You can specify:
- General device data:
for each device you must enter basic properties such as the name, description,
type, and character set.
- Data related to
(physical) printers
- Data related to append
and rewrite files
Depending on the device type, you must skip or fill certain
fields. For example, if you define a physical printer, you can skip the
file-related fields. 设备 This device code is a unique code that identifies a
printer. You can choose a unique name for a device, however the name
SMTP is reserved for Microsoft Outlook to send the print file directly to
e-mail and the name FAX is reserved to print directly to a FAX
device. This code is used by a user to send a report to an output
device. Examples: - ASCII (ASCII file)
- NOTEPAD (NOTEPAD file)
- D (Display Device)
- D66 (Display Device 66 lines per page)
- WINDOWS (Default Windows printer)
- pnl0133L (Unix printer pnl0133 Landscape)
- pnl0133P (Unix printer pnl0133 Portrait)
- pnl0133D (Unix printer pnl0133 Direct)
- pnl0133W (Windows printer pnl0133)
说明 The description of the output device. It is a good manner to specify the location of the printer
if possible. Examples: - IBM Printer in building X
- HP Laserjet in room Y
- Default Windows printer
- Rewrite to file ASCII format
- Print to Excel sheet
- Print to file HTML format
- Print to Business Objects Enterprise
语言环境 Specifies the name of the
Tools Super Set locale. A
locale is a collection of the TSS character set definition, the NLS locale for
the system and minimum and maximum values for form and database fields. Each
locale uses a specific range of (multi-byte) characters of the
Tools Super Set
(TSS). The user locale belonging to the user who makes a print
request, must be equal to the print locale. If a user tries to select a print
device with a locale different from the user locale, the
LN system sends an
error message and the report will not be printed. Examples: - ISO-8859-1 (Western Europe - 8 bit)
- GB-SUN (Simplified Chinese Sun)
- HEBREW-AIX (Hebrew IBM AIX)
注意 If you have a Unicode installation,
Infor advises you to
leave the Locale field empty if you have chosen Windows Printer as the device
type. In that case BWPrint automatically uses the locale of the Windows system.
中间文件使用 XML 格式 If this check box is selected, the intermediate print
file in $BSE/tmp is stored in XML format. XML files can be reused by other
applications, for example Business Objects Enterprise. See the
Argument field for details about printing a
LN Report via Business
Objects Enterprise. 驱动程序 A printer driver is a file that contains settings, such as
control characters, escape sequences, and so on, for a specific
printer. The driver specification is only applicable for Unix
printers, printer type "Printer" or "Direct". For a Windows printer, the printer driver is stored on a
local PC or on a Windows Printer Server. The Unix printer drivers can be found on the Unix file
system in directory $BSE/lib/printinf. This directory contains several one-character
sub-directories for each Printer Supplier, see example list below: - Directory c - Canon
- Directory e - Epson
- Directory h - HP (Hewlett Packard)
- Directory i - IBM
- Directory m - Mannesmann
- Directory s - Siemens
Example printer drivers: - hp_lj4 ( HP Laserjet 4 Portrait printer)
- hp_lj4_lndsc (HP Laserjet 4 Landscape printer)
设备队列 The name of the printer as used by the Unix printer spooler.
The value in the
设备队列 field depends on the value in the
设备类型 field:
- If Device Type is
打印机 then the
Device Queue is the name of the printer as used by the Unix printer spooler
(for example, pnl0133)
- If Device Type is
直接
the print request is not handled by the
printer daemon. Therefore
the Device Queue is a Unix print command with parameters to carry out the print
directly (for example, lp -dpnl0133 -n%d -s %s).
- If Device Type is
Windows 打印机 then the Device Queue is the name of the Windows printer (for
example: \\SRV_NLD_DEV2\PNL0133) . If this field is <empty> the default
Windows printer of the user is used.
- For all other Device
Types the
设备类型 field
is disabled
纸张类型 The
paper type loaded in the
printer's paper tray. The Paper Type specification is only applicable for these
设备类型: - Printer
- Logical printer
- Windows printer
左边距 The left margin for
reports sent to a printer.
The Left Margin specification is only applicable for these
Device Types: 注意 When you print a report, the
选择设备 (ttstpsplopen ) session suggests a left margin. This suggested margin
is calculated as follows: suggested margin = the device margin specified in this field + the report's left margin specified in the
Reports (ttadv3130s000) session
自动换页 Specify whether a form feed is sent after each
report page. The Form Feed Every Page check box is only applicable for
Device Type: Printer. If this check box is selected, a form feed is sent to the
printer at the end of each report page. If this check box is cleared, no form feed is sent at the
end of the report page. If the page length of the report does not correspond
with the page length of the
paper type, the report page
will be printed over several printer pages. 驱动程序 The Unix printer driver that must be used for device types
Rewrite file and File append. Shell 命令 The program, at operating system level, which is executed
before the output is (re) written to a file. For example, this program can be a
conversion program to filter the input data. 转换程序 The 4GL Program field is used to define the name of a
LN 4GL program, that
is used to convert the output of an LN Report to another format. For example to HTML
format. This 4GL Program field is only applicable for the Device
Types: Rewrite file and Append to file. The most important available
LN 4GL program to
mention here is the conversion program: ttstpconv. This program is able to convert a
LN Report to several
formats, for example HTML, RTF, Postscript, etc. To specify the type of conversion to be done, the program
uses Program Arguments, that can be specified in the
Argument field. Another available LN 4GL Program is the CMF (Common Messaging
Facility) Print Utility: ttcmfprint. The ttcmfprint utility is able to send a
LN Report to an E-mail
address, Fax etc. The ttcmfprint utility always converts the report to RTF
format. See the
Argument field for details about the Conversion
Programs. 转换程序的变量 The arguments you can specify here are dependent on the
LN 4GL Program, that
is specified in the 4GL Program field. See this table for the possible arguments: | 4GL
program | Argument | Description | | ttstpconv | ascii | ASCII
