3.Setting up the Printer Controller

This chapter describes the procedures that are required to set up your Printer Controller to receive and process the types of print jobs you will be running.

Tasks requiring a Controller reboot Several of the tasks accessed from pull-down menus on the IPS main window require the Printer Controller to be rebooted to put the new settings into effect. (The procedure for rebooting the Printer Controller is in the “Starting and stopping the system” chapter.) You will need to reboot after performing the tasks associated with these selections:

Note: You can change one or more of these settings at a time before rebooting.
