Print on Direct Socket printer

Print on Direct Socket printer

This workflow component can be used, if you have too many printers to register them manually. The use of this component requires, that you have a license for InterFormNG2, that enables the use of an unlimited number of printers.

 

With this component you print directly to a LAN attached, physical printer via port 9100, so the print output is not seen on any local printer queue.

 

The parameters for this component are:
