Configure printers and printer-related settings

You can configure printers and a number of printer-related settings in the [PRISMAprepare Administration]. You need system administration rights to configure any other settings in the [PRISMAprepare Administration].

Configure the printer settings

You can use the printer discovery tool to easily add printers to PRISMAprepare.

With this printer discover tool, you can detect printers on your network and get the configuration of the printers by standard SNMP protocol. The SNMP protocol must be enabled on the printers. When SNMP is not enabled, you can still add printers manually.

  1. Open the [PRISMAprepare Administration].

  2. Select [Printer settings].

  3. Add and configure printers.

The generic templates to punch, fold and booklet can be made available to the users.
