Creating a printer summary

About this task

Follow these steps to create a printer summary:

Procedure

  1. Select and expand the library server.
  2. Select Printers.
  3. In the Name list, right-click the printer name.
  4. Select Summarize from the pop-up menu to open the Create Printers Summary window.
  5. Choose the category of summary information. Choose from General information and Permissions. If you do not choose a category, then Content Manager OnDemand generates a summary that contains the printer name.
  6. Verify the output File Information. That is, the name of the output file and whether you want Content Manager OnDemand to append the summary to an existing file. You can type the filename or the full path name of a file in the Name field. Choose Append to add the summary to an existing file. To locate an existing file, choose Browse to open the Open window. Note: When you create a summary, the filename that you specify is overwritten if it exists. To save information in an existing file, make sure that you choose the Append option before you choose Create. Content Manager OnDemand does not prompt you before creating the file.
  7. Choose Create. Content Manager OnDemand prepares the summary. When complete, Content Manager OnDemand displays the message "Summary has been generated." Choose Cancel to interrupt the summary generation process.
  8. Choose View to display the summary.
