Define User Printers

Explanation

Use this activity to connect users to different printers in order to print reports on different printers.  This is useful when you wish to have a report printed only at a specific printer. Optionally you can define a printer for special character sets by defining a language. This provides the facility to use a specific printer for special character sets. This optional task is to be performed by a system administrator or equivalent person.

A user combined with a language can be connected to several printers, but only one printer can be the default. The printer used depends on the connections between the report and printer, and between the user and printer.

To define the default printer, enable the Default option in the printer to use. Only one printer can be defined as the default printer.
