Transfer object

Generic printer

Set the following properties after double clicking the transfer object for generic printer:

Label	Document template, created in the Plug-in Configuration
Static printer selection	activated: The printer is set up during creating time and will not be changed during run time. deactivated: The printers name has to be defined during runtime (from variable, data base or similar).
IP	Enter the IP address of your static printer.
Port	Enter the port of your static printer.
Timeout	Time (in ms) that the connection setup may take before a connection error is returned.

The transfer object provides all placeholders from the document template. If these template variables are not filled in the transfer object, the OPC Router uses the default values stored in the template.

If you bind the printer dynamically, make sure to enter it's exact name as it is used in Windows too.

note

Note: You can also enter a host from outside into the IP address field. To do this, create a constant with the IP of the printer, for example, and drag an arrow to the IP address field.
