Benefits
Printing is immediate
More automatic than Windows printing since each printer ID
has its own unique device and settings.
Limitations If printer fails, you lose print job, and transaction is
possibly left incomplete. This option probably will not
work with Win 95 and Win NT workstation.

Other Notes
Must enter a valid (captured or physical) port such as LPT1 or
LPT3.
If you enter a full path and filename, you will print to disk. (See
option D above.)
If you enter PRINTER, you will be in effect spooling your print
job to the default printer in your Windows print manager. If you
choose this option, be sure that the default Windows printer is
compatible with the printer pitch codes of this printer ID.
Be sure not to enter VIEW or LIST as the PRTR DEV when
the type is N, as you will overwrite valid executable files.
Description Print job is spooled to disk prior to starting to print
Requirements Requires a valid export file location to which they
