Add or edit a printer cluster

Introduction

You can group printers into printer clusters. You can use the printer cluster for load balancing.

Procedure

  1. Click [Printer settings].
  2. Click the plus icon to create a printer cluster. Or select an existing cluster to edit the cluster.
  3. Define a name. The name must be unique.

    You can use the characters: 'a - z', 'A - Z', '0 - 9', '_' . Spaces are allowed.

  4. Type a description for the printer cluster.
  5. You can drag and drop available printers to the active printers.

    You can define the print speed of each printer that you add to the cluster. The application uses the print speed to calculate the workload per printer when you enable load balancing. The print speed is often based on optimal paper formats and no finishing. When you use non-optimal paper formats and/or finishing, the print speed decreases. You can decrease the print speed to ensure a better calculation of the workload per printer.

    Drag and drop active printers to the available printers to remove the printers from the cluster.

  6. Click [Save].
