Using Logical Ports

Logical ports can be used to create a "virtual" printer. For example, to create a landscape printer,
you could define a logical printer as:
• Pre-string—printer control codes to switch the printer to landscape mode
• Post-string—printer control codes to reset the printer, restoring the default settings
Another example of the use of logical printers is to print UNIX-format text files properly, by
converting UNIX-style LF (Line Feeds) to DOS-style LF/CR (Line Feed, Carriage Return) pairs.
The Model PS104 Print Server, with one parallel port, supports three logical printers. The
Model PS110 Print Server, with two parallel ports, supports eight logical printers.
