FINDING YOUR WAY AROUND ASYCUDA++ Ó UNCTAD - SITE (V1.15) 2.19 Printers ASYCUDA++ printed output can be directed to several different printers, the printer connected to your client PC or to other printers connected to other client PC's on the same network. For example, you may wish to print a declaration on the laser printer connected to your PC, (i.e., your 'local' printer), or to print a list or a report, on a dot matrix printer,  connected  to  another  client.  The  printer  connected  to  the  other  client may be loaded with wide continuous paper, to suit the format of the report. 'Printer' has a sub-menu with three options, for setting up your office printers ASYCUDA++ printed output. The options are: - Setup To add a printer, (by make and model), to your list of available printers. Note that matching the printer to your expected output, often means sending 'commands' to your printer. For example, to print the standard SAD form on A4 size paper, you need to set the number of lines per page to approximately 99 lines and to set the type font (pitch) to ‘condensed’ (16.67). The  method  of  giving  command  varies  from  one  type  of  printer  to  another.  Some  printers  have controls on the front panel others are software controlled, by a Dos or Windows application. Printers  often  are  controlled  through  a  printer  language.  Through  'Setup'  you can record printer commands that are then sent to the printer as the first part of an ASYCUDA++ print instruction. You can 'set' the printer for font, font size, line spacing, length of page, etc. See the manual provided by the supplier of your printer for details of the method used by your printer to transfer commands. Installation You  can  select  from  a  list  of  both  Local  and  Remote  printers  when  directing  your  ASYCUDA++ output to a printer. The number of printer options available to you depends on the hardware of your own  client  PC;  (this  is  the  number  of  printer  ports  installed,  i.e.  LPT1,  LPT2),  and  the  number  of (remote) printers connected to other client PC's on your network. REMOTE  PRINTERS:  Note  that  the  other  client  PC's,  with  printers  connected, must be running an ASYCUDA++ module for your PC to recognise them as an available 'remote'. To install a 'Local' printer, select from the list of local printers the make and model of printer that is connected directly to your client PC. Usually you only have one option for connection, that is Line Printer Port 1 (LPT1). If a local printer was previously installed and is not the same make and model as  the  printer  currently  connected,  you  must  first  remove  the  previously  installed  local  printer  by selecting and pressing the 'Delete' button. Then you can select the correct local printer from the list. Remote  printers  can  be  connected  or  removed  in  a  similar  way.  The  connections  for  Remote Printers are labelled as RPT1, RPT2, RPT3 etc. You select your default printer (the printer you normally send your prints to) by using the   ‘Tools’, ‘Print Manager’  menu option. See  ‘Printer Manager’ for details on how to set your default printer and for troubleshooting printer output problems.
