In this document, we will set up an example for Printer Routing by Account.
Type Select Option 4 – Group Account Table and press enterEnter.
- Add an entry for each of the account(s) that require special routing.
- Create a unique 'Account “Account Name Set'.”
- Assign a priority number.
- Input the account number as the beginning and ending account code.
- Press Escape to save the entry.
- Type E Press “E” to exit the screen.
The examples shown below should be fine for your entries, just make certain . Make sure to use the account number for your location, not '100'“100”.
Type Select Option 2 – Group Control Editor and press enterEnter.
- Create a Control Name Set and priority value on this screen. For example, for the 'Control “Control Name Set' ,” you will enter 'PRINTERPC0'. “”
- Input the Table 1 and Table 1 Name Set. The “Table 1 Name Set” is the “Account Name Set” from your entry in menu 3-11-14-4.
- Add ANOTHER record, and this time use the Control Name Set of PRINTERLA0“PRINTERLA0.”
These few entries will allow you to
ususe PC0 and LA0 in the printer routing controls. The conditions are only met if an account number you specified in the Group Account table is active. When this happens, the printing will first try to find and print to entry PC0/LA0. If PC0/LA0 cannot be found, then printing happens on PCL/LAY.
If an operator trying to print does not have a routing entry for printer PC0/LA0,
thenit does not matter if the account matches
, printing. Printing will happen on PCK/LAY.
If you only desire the special routing to happen when the job is
andan incoming electronic order, then only do printer routing controls for PC0/LA0 for the
‘remot’“remot” operator name.
