Printer characteristics define the types of printers your system uses. Printer characteristics are pre-defined. Your installer and system administrator can make necessary additions or adjustments for your system.
Printer characteristics define the following:
Printer makes and models compatible with the system.
Number of trays to which the printer can print. By assigning different trays to a printer, you can print various forms on one printer, such as invoices and checks.
Escape sequences associated with the printer trays. Escape sequences define print formatting for different characters per inch (CPI) and lines per inch (LPI) combinations, as well as other print commands.
Printer commands and the associated escape sequences.
