This option determines whether print jobs sent to the Local Printer are output as text or as graphics. With direct text printing, the system outputs a stream of characters. Direct text printing is faster and easier to read, but cannot produce graphics. The system checks this option's value each time you print, so you may change the setting between print jobs.
Notes:
- Every printing category shares the same Direct Text Printing Options: Printer for direct text printing is only 40 columns wide and Number of lines to eject after printing. The direct text printing options selected for the login will apply for all print jobs (standard, receipt, label, form) sent to the local printer.
- If the attached local printer is a 40-column printer, also check the Printer for direct text printing is only 40 columns wide option.
| Direct text printing is typically used for receipt printers, directly attached to Circulation Desk workstations. |
PRINTER FOR DIRECT TEXT PRINTING IS ONLY 40 COLUMNS WIDE
Select this option if your attached local printer is only 40 columns wide. The system will allow you to select this option only if the Enable direct text printing option is checked.
NUMBER OF LINES TO EJECT AFTER PRINTING
Specify the number of blank lines (up to 20) that the system should leave after each print job. The system will allow you to select this option only if the Printer for direct text printing is only 40 columns wide option is checked.
NOTE: This option overrides Circulation option Number of lines between receipts for books.
