Use this activity to define exceptions to rules previously defined between users and printers and between reports and printers (combined with an optional language), and to connect printers to different users and reports (combined with an optional language). This optional task is to be performed by a system administrator or equivalent person.
This is useful when you wish to specify the printer used by a selected user printing a selected report. When a document is created in connection with a batch job, e.g., a document in a work order process, the IFS Printer Service can be used to print the documents. In order to accomplish that, you must define which printer to use. If the system cannot find a printer for the report, the document will not be printed.
In addition, if there is a default printer defined for a specific report/user, it will be pre selected in the print dialog when ordering a report through the Order Report.
The printer used will be prioritized according to the window in which it was entered, from highest to lowest priority:
Physical printer definitions are maintained in IFS/Foundation. All available printers are logical printers. The list of available printers can be viewed, and the report/document printed to any printer, in the Report Archive.
To define the default printer, select the Default option in the printer to use. Only one printer can be defined as the default printer
