Assigning Printer Locations to Users

A printer location is a group of printers accessible to your terminal. Printer locations are assigned to terminals, users, and physical branches. The following procedure describes how to assign printer locations to user IDs.

When you log on, the printer location displayed at the bottom of your screen is the printer location assigned to your terminal. If no printer location is defined for the terminal, the system prompts you to select from the locations assigned to your user record. If no printer locations are assigned at the user level, the system prompts you to select from the locations assigned to the physical branch in which the terminal is located. Once a printer location is selected, you can also change it.

To assign printer locations to a user:

  1. From the System > System Files > User Control menu, select User Maintenance to display the User Maintenance screen.

  2. In the User ID field, enter a user's ID to display the corresponding record.

  3. Use the Location hot key to display the Locations screen.

  4. For each printer location, position the cursor on a blank line, press F10 and select a location from the list.

Note: Enter the locations in the order in which you want them to appear when the system displays a list of printer locations.

  1. Press Esc twice to save this information and exit User Maintenance.
