A. It is a unique name assigned to these components, collected as a group together: • Device Type: the print datastream definition, usually PCL or Postscript. See below. • Output Method: a single letter defining how the print job is delivered • Host Address: an optional field that holds the logical or physical address of the printer itself, which may be a DNS name or IP address.
