Settings

  Recommended default is 1 day. The maximum is 7 days.

  • Documents can be reprinted until 12 hours after they are marked for deletion.

• Select the automatic update scheme for the Printix desktop applications

  Select how the Printix Client, Printix Redirector, and Printix Configurator behave during automatic updates.

  • Advance version

    Update to the newest version.

    If selected, you can see the versions the Printix Client, Printix Redirector, and Printix Configurator will update to.

    If selected, you can see the versions the Printix Client, Printix Redirector, and Printix Configurator will update to.

  • Specific version

    Update to a specific version.

    If selected, boxes appear where you must select the versions the Printix Client, Printix Redirector, and Printix Configurator should update to. Red text indicates an unsupported version.

    Versions that are currently supported can become unsupported later.

  • Disable automatic updates

    Do not update the version.

• Allow users to add printers via Printix Client

  Clearing this will remove Printers from the Printix Client menu for users. Administrators will always be able to select Printers.

Preventing users from adding printers through the Printix Client could be relevant in these scenarios:

• Existing group policies for printing are used to control which user gets which printer, so users do not need to be able to add printers themselves. Remember to select Convert print queues.

• Printix Anywhere is the only print queue users will need, and it is configured to be automatically added for everyone.

• All Printix printers are configured to be added automatically, so users do not need to do this.

• Printer ID after printer name

  The three-letter printer ID is placed at the end.

  Example: Reception ASD

• Printer ID before printer name

  The three-letter printer ID is placed at the start.

  Example: ASD Reception

• Printer name without printer ID

  Select this if you do not want users to see the printer ID as part of the printer name.

  Example: Reception

All Printix print queues will adopt to the selected naming within a few moments.

• Hide printer ID in Printix Client

  Select this if you do not want the three-letter printer ID to appear on the Printix Client Printers page.

• Create default print queue

  If selected, then when a printer is registered without a print queue, the system will create a default print queue and name the print queue the same as the printer model name. When migrating print servers, it is recommended to clear this as part of the Implementation setup.

• Convert print queues

  Global setting to control if all print queues that point to a Printix printer should be converted. You can also set this per network. Before you enable this on a larger scale, you can test conversion of print queues on a single computer. At conversion, the port settings are modified to use an Internet Port and allow printing through Printix.

  • Network printers are converted if they are setup with a Standard TCP/IP Port or WSD Port.

  • Shared network printers are converted.

    Example: Reception on PrintServer becomes Reception ASD, ASD Reception, or Reception depending on the choice of Print queue naming.

    See also: Why is the shared print queue not converted right away?

  • Locally connected printers (USB) are not converted.

  • No printers are converted on unknown networks.

  • No printers are converted on servers.

• Change print driver

  The converted print queue uses the print driver that the printer is configured to use in Printix Administrator. If you leave this cleared (default), the print queue continues to use the current print driver and its settings.

• Signature

  This text is inserted after "Friendly regards" in the email that is sent to users after they register. You can change this to include contact details for your Help Desk. By default, this is populated with the name and email address of the first system manager.

  Example: John Smith, john.smith@acme.com

The name and email address of the administrator is used as signature in the email that is sent to a user when the administrator adds the user or changes the role of the user.
