Printer Link Setup (CC97)

The Maintain Printer Defaults program is used to set up printer devices to be used for various programs. Each Printer device can be configured with the set of Printer Options and for availability by specific Sales Offices and specific selector Programs.

Printer Name

To access existing records or to create new records in the Printer Defaults table, enter a Printer code, up to four characters in length .

Description

Enter a description of the printer. This description appears with the Printer code on the Printer Selection list and is useful in describing the location and type of printer the code represents.

List of Sales Offices

Enter the Sales Office(s) that have access to the printer. Adding a sales office to the list restricts the use of that printer to that sales office only. Not defining a specific sales office allows access by all sales offices.

List of Programs

Enter the programs (e.g. OE34) that are to have access to the printer. Adding a program to the list restricts the use of that printer to that program only. Not defining a specific list of programs allows access to this printer in all programs.

Printer Options
