6. Enter the IP Address or DNS Name of the PortServer II/TS. Enter the Print Queue Name. The print queue name should begin with "ascii" if you want the PortServer to substitute both carriage return and line feed characters whenever the system sends a line feed, or with "raw" if you want no substitutions to be made. Then insert an underscore character and the port number (1-16) of the port you want to print to. Lastly, you can add "_f" if you want to append a line feed character after every file in a print job, or "_d" if you want a Ctrl-D added to the end of each file. (Ctrl-D is often required by PostScript printers) Click Ok.
