Adding a printer pool definition

You can add a printer pool definition as described here.

Before you add a printer pool definition, create the printer definitions for the printers in the pool, if necessary.

To add a printer pool definition:

  1. On the Infoprint Server Printer Inventory Manager panel, select 4 Other Definitions and press Enter.
  2. On the FSA, FSS, Pool, and Job Selection Rule Management panel, select 7 Add and press Enter.
  3. On the Printer Pool panel:
    1. To display online help information about how to use the panel, place the cursor on the command line and press the HELP function key. To display help information about each field, place the cursor on the input area of each field and press the HELP function key.
    2. Fill in the LU name field and the Printer definition names fields. To select printer definitions one at a time from a list, place the cursor on the word list and press Enter.

      If a printer definition does not exist, you can create it from the list panel. Before you can save a printer pool definition, all printer definitions that are listed in the printer pool definition must exist in the Printer Inventory.

      The order in which printer definition names are listed is significant. NetSpool uses formatting attributes in the printer definition that you list first.

    3. Other fields on the Printer Pool panel are optional. For more information about which fields to specify in printer pool definitions, see Broadcasting data with multiple printer definitions.
    4. To validate the fields before you save the printer pool definition, press Enter.
    5. To save the new definition but keep the panel on the screen, typeSAVE on the command line and press Enter.
    6. To save the new definition and exit the panel, press the END function key.
