Introduction to administering Xprint V7.0

●The Xprint V7.0 system (-sys)

The Xprint V7.0 system refers to all the Xprint V7.0 objects which are combined in a local administrative unit, what is called an Xprint V7.0 domain. Within the Xprint V7.0 system the Xprint V7.0 administrator is allowed to perform all the administrative tasks.

The only operations that can be executed for the Xprint V7.0 system are displaying or changing the Xprint V7.0 administrator as well as the Xprint V7.0 system comments.
