Defining the printer identification settings

The Printer Configuration settings define basic identification information for the printer. This information is displayed to users and can be used to search for and locate destination printers.

📘 Instructions

Printer Configuration settings:

Printer Description

A descriptive label that describes the printer to users. The value should be unique and descriptive.

Note: PrinterOn does not enforce uniqueness on this value, but recommends that you set this value to a simple and easy- tounderstand label for the printer.

PrinterOn Name

A unique printer queue name is used throughout the software to both identify and organize printers.

This value is combined with the email domain (specified in the Workflow Option settings) to create the email address for the printer, to which users can email print jobs. For example, if you name the printer warehouse-printer-1, and your email domain is defined as http://emailprint.com , the resulting email address for this printer would be:

warehouse-printer-1@emailprint.com

Department

The Printer Department to which the printer belongs. The drop-down list only lists existing departments.

Printer departments are used by PrinterOn to organize printers into groups. These departments can be used in conjunction with various Supported authentication methods to define access control rules to control which users can access which printers.

For information about creating departments, see Managing printer departments.

Default Printer Language

The default language for the printer, which the server uses to respond to email print jobs.

External ID

The external ID for this printer.

Web Services ID(Advance View Only)

The email address provided by HP for your HP printer. You can get this value by accessing the printer’s Embedded Web Server (EWS), which lets you access the printer configuration settings remotely from any computer that is connected to the same network as the printer.

For use with HP Printers only.
