To add an AppSocket protocol, in the user interface, go to Configure / Port settings.
Use Select Port Type to Add to show the list of available protocols.
Pick AppSocket from the list:
Once you've select AppSocket, click the "Add Port" button:
Next, make these changes:
- change the Port setting if needed
- change the Timeout setting if you prefer
- select one of your existing queues using the droplist, or add a queue. Either way, AppSocket requires a valid queue to exist before it can receive the job. If the queue doesn't exist, AppSocket will create a queue called "appsocket-queue" and put jobs there.
We'll cover the printer emulation in the section "How to query printers on your network"
- Changing the serial number is optional. There is no reason to leave it blank because that could potentially interfere with an application.
