Add or Select a Print Destination Table

Define a Print Destination Table before you associate groups of physical printers with a virtual printer or a mnemonic printer name.

To add a Print Destination Table

1. From the TPX Administration Menu, select option 2, TPX System Options.

   The TPX System Administration Menu is displayed.

2. Select option 4, Print Destination Definition.

   The TPX Print Destination Table List is displayed.

3. Do one of the following:
   • To add a table, type S table-name on the command line, where table-name is the name of the table you want to add or select. Then press Enter.
   • To select an existing table, either type S table-name as described previously, or use the Tab key to move the cursor to the table you want, type S, and press Enter.

   The TPX Print Destination Table Entry List is displayed. For an explanation of how to work with this list, see Adding or Modifying Printer Names in this chapter.

   If you want the product to use this table at startup, you must specify the table name in your startup procedure.
