File Contents Allows you to choose either Text or Byte stream (the default).
Choose Text when you want tabs to be converted to spaces. Also choose Text to print ASCII text.
Choose Byte stream if you are printing from within an application and you want the application to handle the formatting commands. Also choose Byte stream if you will be downloading fonts on a laser printer.

Form Feed Determines whether a form feed is sent when a job is completed.
Notify When Done Determines whether a message is sent to the workstation of the print job originator when the job has finished printing.

Enable timeout Determines if each print job will time out after a specified period of time. If this is selected, Timeout Count can be set.
Timeout Count Shows the number of seconds that must pass without data being sent to the queue before the print job is closed. You must select Enable timeout to enter a value here. Timeout can range from 1 to 1000 seconds.
Choose OK.
NOTE: The NET.CFG file now includes a network PRINTERS=<number> option that you may specify if you choose. This option allows you to specify the number of logical ports (0-9) you would like to be able to capture. The default is 3. If you specify a print job configuration that has a complex printer mode, you may need to increase the bytes (default 64, range 0 to 255) in the PRINTER HEADER=number option.
