Printers pane

The Printers pane displays a list of printers that have been added to the Print Manager.

The following information (all editable using the Printer Settings Dialog) is displayed for each printer:

  • Printer Name: Displays the name of the printer.
    The background color and the icon to the left of the printer indicates the current status of the queue. The two options are:
    • Green: The queue is active and any job sent to it is immediately streamed to the printer.
    • Yellow: The queue is paused and jobs will wait before being streamed to the printer.
  • Hot Folders: Displays the paths of any hot folders.
  • IP Address: Displays either the IP Address or machine name of the IPDS printer.
  • Port (IPDS Only): Displays the port the printer communicates on.
  • LPR (PCL and PostScript Only): Displays the printing file type.
  • Description: Displays printer description.

To the right of the printer list, the following controls are available, as well as in right-mouse click context menus:

  • Add job to selected printer: Click to load an file directly and add it to the printer queue.
  • Add job with Page Range: Click to load an file directly and add it to the printer queue while specifying the page range to print.

  • Expand: Click to expand the current printer details within the Printer pane, if not already expanded.
