Manage the printer configuration

Introduction

The print queues of the printer are listed in section [Destination]. The print queues are printer dependent. In addition to the default print queues, DocBoxes and virtual printers can be defined on the print server. DocBoxes can be defined on the PRISMAsync Print Server. Virtual printers can be defined on the Fiery Print Server. DocBoxes and virtual printers are print queues that apply specific settings to print jobs that are sent to them. For example, specific colour options are applied to each job that is sent to the queue. You have to import these queues from the print server before you can make them available to the operator.

You can enable one or more print queues for the operator. The operator can find the print queues in the [Print] dialogue.

Finishers that are possibly available to the printer are listed in section [Finishers]. You have to select which finishers are actually available to the printer. The selected finishers and their output locations become available to the operator in the [Print] dialogue.
