Purpose: The purpose of these exercises is to demonstrate how printers are managed and connected to users and/or reports in IFS Applications.
Windows:
Printer Definitions
To connect printers to users and/or reports, the printers must first be registered under the Logical Printer tab. In this exercise you will define two new logical printers.
Printer ID | Description |
10 | Laser Printer first floor |
20 | Laser Printer second floor |
Note: The printer ID entered in this window is connected to a physical printer when installing IFS Print Server.
By connecting reports to specific printers, you can specify which printer you want to print out a specific report. In this exercise you will connect one of the printers that you defined earlier to a standard report in IFS Applications.
Note: The reports available depend on the modules that are installed in your IFS environment.
Report ID | Module |
MODULE_REP | FNDSER |
Note: After you have completed the above steps, when a user prints the selected report, the system automatically will use printer number 10.
In this exercise you will connect a user to two different printers (the printers you defined earlier). By doing so, the user will be able to select which printer to use. One connected printer will be set as the default.
Note: The rules defined under in the Report Printer tab override the rules in this tab. So if Alain decides to print out the MODULE_REP report, the report will be printed on printer 10 because of the rules that you entered in the previous exercise.
In this exercise you are going to define some exceptions from the rules that you have defined in the exercises above. In this case you are going to connect both a specific report and a specific user to a printer.
Note: The rules defined under this tab will override the rules entered under the two other tabs (User Printer and Report Printer).
Note: The reports available depend on the modules that are installed in your IFS environment.
Report ID | Module |
MODULE_REP | FNDSER |
Note: When Alain decides to print out the MODULE_REP report, printer 20 automatically will be selected. This rule overrides the settings you made in the Report Printer tab, where the default printer for this specific report was set to printer 10.
