Device management setup procedure (CE)

LN ’s Device Management contains the procedures that you can use to create devices and specify the paper types and fonts for the printouts.

Additional procedures are included in device management, which you can use to:

  • Define paper types
  • Define the fonts for the paper types
  • Create devices

After the procedure is completed you can use a range of devices to view or print data that LN processes.

For detailed instructions on how to specify data in the sessions mentioned in the procedure steps, see the online session Help.

To create the devices and the associated data:

Step 1. Define paper types

You can define specific paper types for every type of output. For example, if you want to print paychecks, you must define the characteristics of the preprinted checks that must be loaded in the printer.

Step 2. Define the fonts for the paper type

Define the fonts to use for each paper type. The fonts define the number of characters that can fit on one line and the number of lines that can fit on a sheet of paper. You must also define the width and height of the sheet of paper. LN uses these dimensions to check whether the report fits on the selected paper type.

Step 3. Create the devices

You must create the devices to which LN can send processed data.
