From the Windows Start menu, under Micro Focus InfoConnect Enterprise > Enterprise > select PTR Route Wizard.
The PTR Route wizard steps you through configuring PTR (Print and Transaction Router) routes, which allow you to control and manage peripherals and send print jobs from a host to a printer that's attached to your Windows system.
After you configure a PTR route using the PTR Route wizard, it is automatically added to the existing Route Definition list in PTR. By default, new routes are enabled. You can temporarily disable a route by selecting the Route Disabled Indicator in the PTR Configuration dialog box.
In some cases, the options you select determine which configuration pages follow.
To configure a PTR route
Open the Route Wizard from the Start menu.
Select a Device Type and select Next.
Select the type of printer to which you will connect. Values are ATB, Bag/Tag, Boarding, Doc/ATB, Document, and Special/Reader. The device type you select might affect the route behavior and limit the types of printer connection that are available to your printer queue path. To configure options for a Continental ATB2 printer, select a value other than Document.
Select an Airline option and select Next.
Select the airline or travel service for which you’re configuring a PTR route. The pages that follow vary depending on this selection. To make available for configuration most of the options on the following wizard pages, so that you can specify selections for more than one service, select Any; to configure options for a Continental ATB2 printer, you must select Continental.
Select the desired Printer Queue Path and select Next.
