Print Desk Admin

USING THE ADMINISTRATIVE SOFTWARE

The administrative module can be used as a print release station. This will allow print jobs to be held at the release station before being printed. The administrative module can be configured to allow staff members to release print jobs or to allow patrons to release their own print jobs.

ADMINISTRATIVE RELEASE STATION

To access the administrative release station, select View> Administrative Release Station. The release station will look in the Printing Database Location for any jobs that have not been released. Each job in the release station has two files associated with it: a *.prs file and a *.spl file. The *.spl file contains the print spool information for the print job and the *.prs file contains information used by the release station. These files are created in the Printing Database Location by the client module when a user sends a print job to the release station. The following options are available at the Release Station:

ACCOUNT

Allows you to add/remove money from a user’s account. The account associated with the selected print job will be loaded when the account button is clicked.

REFRESH

Refresh the list of jobs on the print queue.

PRINT

Send the selected print job to the printer.

DELETE

Delete the selected print job from the print queue. Removing a print job will not deduct funds from the patron’s account.

FIND

Only Display jobs waiting for a certain patron name.

CURRENT

Loads the list of currently active print jobs.

PREVIOUS

Load the list of backed-up print jobs so that you can print them again.
