11.6.5 Selecting a Printer

 

The Printers list box allows you to choose from a list of printer specifications which have been defined in the NExS resource file. When you choose a printer, the corresponding print command which will be used by NExS to complete the print function is displayed in the Print Command field. The print command can only be viewed from this dialog box; any modifications must be made in the NExS resource file.

Instructions on defining these devices or print command variations to NExS is found in section 11.5, Defining Printers or Other Output Mechanisms, in this chapter.

To select a different output destination:

  1. Select Printer Options from the Options menu or Print Sheet dialog box. NExS displays the Printer Options dialog box as shown in Figure 11.2.

  2. Select the printer specification of choice from the Printers selection box. (The command which the Print operation will use is displayed in the Print Command field. The command cannot be changed from this menu.)

  3. Apply your selection by clicking OK or Apply.


The current printer name is saved with the sheet. When the sheet is reloaded, the saved printer name will be compared to the list available. If there is a match the associated print command will be used. If there is no match, NExS will select the first choice in the list, which should be your default print command.
