Enter the virtual printer mask and its associated virtual terminal mask in the appropriate fields.

You can use two special characters in masks. An asterisk (*) in the mask indicates that the software should substitute the character from the physical terminal ID at the same location as the asterisk before making a comparison. A hyphen (-) in the mask indicates that any character in that position will match.

Blanks are significant. If a blank appears at the end of a physical terminal mask, the last character of the physical terminal ID also must be a blank.
