Xi REPRO Print Server - Server (controls A741) - Local client

- Scanning enabled

From all computers we can print directly to the spool queue on the A741 Repro System Print Server. The job is then printed based on the defaults as set by the Local Client program. A client program running on the Print Server is referred to as the Local Client and has some additional features enabled, such as scanning. In order to fully control the print job (specify scaling, paper size, rotation etc.) the job must first be printed to file on a computer. The print file must then be imported into a Client propram after which the job details can be specified. The print job is then submitted to the A741 Repro System server after which it is printed.

The Client program is available only for the Windows NT environment, not for the Macintosh or UNIX systems. (see also 12.1, 12.2)
