| # Device Data (ttaad3500m000) This session lists the Device data. Related topics Device Management Procedures Device Management Device Data (ttaad3100s000) Device The output device code. 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) Device Type The type of output device. Possible values Locale 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) Note 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. 4GL Program 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. Logical Printers... Starts the Logical Printers (ttaad3101m000) session. This command is only available if the Device Type is Logical printer. Device Queue Starts the Device Queue (ttaad3520m000) session. Purge Device Queue Starts the Purge Device Queue (ttaad3221m000) session. |
