After you define the functions for a print device definition,
you can combine these functions into modes.
A mode is a combination of functions that you define to allow
the print device to meet specific printing needs.
For example, you could create a "Final Printout"
mode for the HP LaserJet that would include the functions for 10
cpi, Emphasized printing, and Near- letter quality printing.
As a network supervisor, you must determine what your printing
needs are and then define the modes you will need.

 | NOTE: In most printers, the order of the functions is important.
See your printer's documentation for more details. |

Creating
Print Device Modes |
|
Use the following procedure to create a new mode.
Procedure
From the "Modify Existing Device" page,
select "Create Mode."
The "Create New Mode" page appears.
Enter a name for the new mode in the "Mode
Name" field.
You can choose any 8-character name that begins with a letter.
You should use names that reflect the purpose of the print device
mode.
For example, you might have modes for different types of documents
like memos or reports, or for different user's preferred settings,
or for the requirements of different papers or forms that you use.
Select the function that you want to be executed
first from the "Device Functions" list; then choose
"Add Below."
Select the function that you want to be executed
next from the "Device Functions" list; then select
"Add Below."
You can select the same function more than once if the mode
requires it.
Repeat Step 4 until all of the functions that you
want as part of this mode are listed in the correct order in the
"Mode Functions" list box.
If you make a mistake, use "Delete" or "Add
Above" to rearrange the functions listed in "Mode
Functions."
Choose "OK."
You return to the "Modify Existing Device"
dialog.
Viewing or
Modifying Print Device Modes |
|
This feature allows you to modify a print device mode that
you previously entered.
You can change the name of the mode or change the functions
executed from this mode.
A mode is a combination of functions that you define to allow
the print device to meet specific printing needs. For example, you
might define a print device mode called "Title"
that includes functions for bold, double wide, and letter-quality
printing.
Use the following procedure to modify an existing print device
mode.
Procedure
From the "Modify Existing Device" dialog,
select the mode you want to modify and choose "Modify."
(Optional)
Enter a new name for
the mode in the "Mode Name" field.
Select the function that you want to add to the
mode from the "Device Functions" list.
Select the function in the "Mode Functions"
list next to where you want to insert the new function.
Choose "Add Below" or "Add
Above" to insert the selected device function in the correct
place in the "Mode Functions" list.
(Optional)
Select any mode function
that you want to delete from the definition of this mode; then choose
"Delete."
The selected function is no longer part of this mode. The
function is still a part of this print device definition, but is
not used for this mode.
Repeat Steps 2 through 5 as needed.
Choose "OK."
You return to the "Modify Print Device"
dialog.
