NOTE:

The USB port is available only on SL5000r/T5000r, SL4M/T4M, and
P8000 printers.

IMPORTANT

If the printer is connected to PNE through USB, you cannot perform a
job capture or send a print job. USB connectivity can only be used to
either manage the printer or print a job. When using the USB for printer
management, you can print data using all other interfaces except USB.

Triggers

Figure 107. Configure Triggers Window

A Trigger allows a selective capture of host data. You need to specify two
triggers, a start trigger and an end trigger. Select

Triggers

Configure

.

See Figure 107.

Enter triggers as text or hex strings with a maximum length of 256 characters.
Job Capture scans received data for the start trigger sequence. Once found,
data capture begins and continues until Job Capture finds the end trigger.

If you do not set a start trigger, all data is captured when the Job Capture
starts. If you do not set an end trigger, the data will continue to capture until
you stop it.

A second trigger option is a trigger count. You can set Job Capture to start or
stop once it finds a set number of start and/or stop triggers. The window that
displays captured data shows any lines containing start triggers and highlights
the start trigger strings. You can also use the Search feature to search
through captured data.

The Ignore Case check box allows character case to be ignored. Check the
box to search for a string regardless of character case, and the data will
capture once the string is found.

NOTE:

You cannot apply triggers to Coax/Twinax and TCP/IPDS jobs.
