With the /X LMWPRINT command, you are able to further refine your printer designation by passing in both the printer name (/X) and the port (/O) commands. These commands would be used together when you have two or more printers of the same kind, same name, etc. on different ports and you want to send the print job to a particular one of the two printers. The /X command must be sent first, specifying the printer to look for (assuming this printer is different than the printer for which the label was originally designed), and then the /O would specify the port to which it is attached. If the correct /X and /O information is not given, the print job will be sent to the printer for which the label was originally designed (the selected printer saved with the label design).
Note: You must input the EXACT name of the printer as it appears in the Printer Setup area of the label design software (or if using a Windows printer, you must input the printer name exactly as it appears in the Windows Printers folder).
Use of the /X command is intended for a setup in which print jobs are sent to multiple printers that are exactly the same make and model and used at different locations. The printer name specified should be of the same make and model as the printer for which the label was originally designed. In some cases, you may be able to design the label for one model and then send the print job to a different model by the same manufacturer, but the success of this type of setup varies by printer manufacturer and the results are unpredictable.
Note: Do not attempt to send the print job to a printer from a manufacturer other than that used with the original label design because problems can occur if your label is set up to use native fonts that are resident on the original printer and then the fonts are unavailable if you switch to a different make of printer. For example, if you design a label for a Zebra printer and use a native font for a text image, then try to print to a Datamax printer, the result is usually undesirable.
