A printer location is a group of printers accessible to terminals in a common work area, such as accounting, the counter, or the warehouse. A printer location can also define a work task, such as label or ship ticket printing. Terminals, users, and physical branches have assigned printer locations.
Use Printer Location Maintenance to see which printers are assigned in a particular physical location. Also, you can drill into the details of a printer, such as which forms cannot print for a particular printer. You can look at printer information by drilling to the printer by branch or by location.
You can also delete a location if that location is no longer valid or required at your branch.
Note: If you make changes to your printer setup and you have Printer Location Maintenance open, you must refresh your view to see the changes by closing and reopening your window to see the changes.
To drill into printer details by branch:
From the System > System Files > Printer Setup menu, select Printer Location Maintenance to display the Printer Location Maintenance window.
By default the system displays the Printers by Branch tab.
Select the branch at which your printer is located or the branch you want at which you want to view printers.
Expand the Printer Location Tree, as needed, to drill down to the printer you want.
Select a printer to view the information.
In the Location Info area, the system displays any forms that cannot print on the selected printer. To set up a form, click Printer Maintenance to display the Eclipse Forms Printer Setup window.
