Print Agent

  • This feature enables local printer(s) to be setup and then made available for printing, including remotely by other web users.

    • An example of usage is a printer in the Dispatch warehouse which is then made available to users processing Sales Dispatch documents across the business.

  • Initially, a Print Agent must be setup which has access to the printer(s). Once this is done, connected printer(s) can be individually made available and even restricted to selected users.

  • Once Printer(s) are added, User(s) can assign them as default and they can be added to Document Type(s).

  • The screenshot below shows a sample grid of the print agent finder.
