1. Highlight your printer, and click the Configure Printers icon on the toolbar, or select Setup > Configure Printers. This opens the Configure Printer dialog.
2. Select the Device  tab (Figure 1), and choose your settings.
3. Click OK.

The Physical Printer column shows the physical printers associated with the printer. To increase the number of physical printers, modify the value in the Number of Physical Printers field. Increasing the number of physical printers creates a Printer Pool.

 

Printer Pools - A Printer Pool is a printer with two or more physical printers. They are an effective tool when printing high-volume jobs. When two or more physical printers are configured as a printer pool, RIP-Queue automatically sends jobs to the first printer that is ready. You can also have each physical printer loaded with a different media. This allows incoming jobs to be sent to the printer pool without needing to change the media on the printer.

 

NOTE: If you cannot increase the number of physical printers, you do not have sufficient Permissions. Contact your sales representative for an upgrade.

The Port column of the physical printer list shows the printer port that the printer is using. To change the port, click Configure Port. See Printer Ports for more information.

Click Configure Port to modify the printer port for your printer. See Printer Ports for more information.

Some printers have special features specific to that printer such as allowing bi-directional communication with RIP-Queue. Click Features to view the options or information for your printer.

 

NOTE: The Features button only appears if it is supported by your printer.
