Print Settings

Print page provides Printer Settings to select either local or remote printers, printer font selection for the print-out, and Printer Controller.

Print Mode Indicating the current printing mode. You can also use this to force KoalaTerm entering or getting out a particular mode.
Print To Since Version 3.2: You have three ways to do the actual printing when print job received from the host:
  • Print Driver: all charcaters received from the host is sent to Windows printer driver without any modification. You can select the printer using the "Printer Settings" box. This is the default option. You need to make sure your printer is configured properly in the Windows system and selected by KoalaTerm.
  • Redirect to Windows: all characters received from the host will be processed by KoalaTerm first, then sent to Windows printer. KoalaTerm will make use of the printer format settings and the printing font you specified. This option is commonly used when all the data from the host are text, and you want to print out using particular font and printer settings (like orientation).
  • Direct to Port: all characters received from the host will be sent to the specified printer port directly without any processing. This option is useful when all you need is a printer port connection and your host takes care of all the formatting and controlling things.
  • Print Font The print font specified here is only effective when the "Print To" mode is set to "Redirect to Windows".
    Printer Settings To select and setup a printer either local or remote.
    Direct to Port Select a printer port when the "Print To" mode is set to "Direct to Port".
    Job Timeout Sometimes the host switch between printing mode and non-printing mode quite frequently and there is no indication of end-of-job. KoalaTerm uses a timeout to determine when to finish a job. The timeout value is in seconds. You can specify zero here if you want to print out immediately.
    Send FF While Finish When this option checked, KoalaTerm will send a "Form Feed" control to the printer, most likely it will cause the print to eject the current page.
    If you don't get any print out after the host sent out the data, you might need to check this option to ensure the final ejection.
