Before you can print from the system, you must do the following printer assignments:
Assign printers to the system.
Define printer locations and assign printers to the locations.
Assign printer locations to users' terminals. If needed, you can also assign an override slave printer to a terminal.
In addition to assigning printers and printer locations, you also need to assign forms to printers.
When you log on, at the bottom of the screen the system displays the printer location assigned to your terminal and the printer in that location to which the PLAIN form is assigned. If a slave printer is assigned to the terminal, the system displays the word SLAVE.
If no printer location is defined for your terminal, the system prompts you to select from the locations assigned to your user record. If no printer locations are assigned at the user level, the system prompts you to select from the locations assigned to the physical branch in which the terminal is located.
If the PLAIN form is assigned to more than one printer in the selected printer location, the system displays a list of the printers with that form loaded and prompts you to select one. If the PLAIN form is not assigned to any of the printers in the selected printer location, the system displays a list of all the printers in the location and prompts you to select one.
After you are logged on, you can change the selected printer location for your terminal and, within the assigned printer location, you can change the printer assignment.
