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.
After you assign printers to the system in the Assign Printer/Fax program, use Printer Location Maintenance to define printer locations. You can assign unlimited printers to a location. After they are defined, you can assign printer locations to users' terminals on the Terminal Setup screen.
Use the following tasks to:
From the System > System Files > Printer Setup menu, select Printer Location Maintenance to display the Printer Location Maintenance window.
Locate a printer for which you want to adjust location information.
Click the Printer Locations tab.
In the Location field, enter the location in which the printer resides.
Note: If the location does not display in the validated list, click Add New and enter the new location name.
In the Printer Location is in branch field, enter the branch where this printer location resides.
The system compares the user's terminal physical branch to the printer's physical branch. If the system finds a match and no overrides exist, the system prompts the user to choose a printer.
Use the Add and Remove buttons to assign appropriate printers to a location.
For each printer location, assign the plain paper printer first, followed by the remaining printers in descending order of importance.
If you want set your ship tickets to print from a specific printer, use the File menu select Edit Ship Ticket Branchoption. The system checks this setting when determining where to print. For more information, see How Eclipse Determines Print Locations.
