AVAILABLE OPTIONS HELP
You may select any of the options on the PRINTCON "Available Options" menu by highlighting the option and pressing the SELECT key. To exit PRINTCON, press the ESCAPE key.
PRINTCON is used to create special print job configurations that will be used when you print from your account. For example, if you specify a configuration that prints a banner and one copy of a file, the file will be printed according to the parameters you specify when you execute a print command and specify that configuration. If you choose that configuration as your default, and you print something without specifying a configuration, the file will automatically be printed with a banner and one copy.
A brief explanation of each of the available options is given on the following pages of help. (While you are in help, you may use the PAGEUP and PAGEDOWN keys to view other help screens.

The "Enable Timeout" field enables files to be printed after a specified time period has passed, without executing the ENDCAP command.

If you choose NO, captured data will be printed, according to what the "Auto Endcap" field is set to. The ENDCAP command will cause printing to occur if "Auto Endcap" is set to NO. Exiting a program will cause printing if "Auto Endcap" is set to YES.
