Glossary

Abbreviation for "Advanced Business Application Programming." A proprietary programming language developed by SAP and used to customize, extend, and build business apps with SAP systems.

Defines how SAP processes and transfers print jobs. The method is created and defined in SAP.

The "E" stands for "External Output Management." This device access method uses the official SAP BC-XOM integration interface and requires the output management system to be officially certified and approved by SAP. Access method E is not supported by PrinterLogic Output.

A front-end printing method in which SAP routes print jobs to the printers installed on the end user's device using Windows control technology in the SAP graphical user interface (GUI). Users can print to their default printer or select from locally available printers.

The "Q" stands for "print queue." This device access method is used in SAP systems to send print jobs to an external print queue managed outside of SAP, typically by a third-party print management system or external output server. Access method Q allows SAP to route print jobs to a predefined print queue on a remote host or external print server, such as PrinterLogic Output or other output management systems. The SAP system does not handle the spooling directly; instead, it hands off the job for external processing.

The "S" stands for "SAP protocol," which is SAP's proprietary communication protocol for remote printing. This device access method sends print data to a Windows print server running SAPSPrint, which is a Windows service SAP developed to replace the older SAPLPD. This device access method cannot be used with PrinterLogic's Line Printer Daemon (LPD) service due to its proprietary nature.

The "U" stands for "UNIX Berkeley LPR," which is the original version of Line Printer Remote (LPR) used by SAP to forward jobs with this access method. This device access method ties directly with PrinterLogic's Line Printer Daemon (LPD) service, which is part of the PrinterLogic Output solution.

A PrinterLogic Output connector that lets source systems send print jobs through web requests rather than traditional print queues or drivers. Running on a Service Agent, the API Print Service accepts representational state transfer (RESTful) API calls so apps that do not natively support printing can still print.
