To start a batch printer SEP from the command line

  1. Make sure the enterprise server was started from the command line or from the Visual Studio IDE.
  2. At a command prompt, enter: 
    start casout -bclasslist -n"printer" -renterprise-server

    or: 

    start casout -bclasslist -n"printer" -renterprise-server -xprinter-exit

    where classlist specifies the job classes that the SEP is to handle, printer is the name of the printer (as defined in Windows), enterprise-server is the enterprise server to start it in (default ESDEMO), and the optional printer-exit specifies a Printer Exit module. For example: 

    start casout -bABC -n"HP LaserJet 4L" -rESDEMO

    or: 

    start casout -bABC -n"HP LaserJet 4L" -rESDEMO -xSAMPPRNX

    Note that it’s advisable to run this command in a separate session, using the Windows start command as shown.
