Preparing for Server-Based Batch Printing

To prepare for server-based batch printing, perform the task in this topic. Server-based batch printing sends a printing request to Oracle’s Siebel Document Server. The document is then sent to the printer specified in the User Preferences screen. If you do not specify a printer, the document is printed on the default printer that the system administrator configures.

To specify a printer for server-based batch printing

Navigate to the User Preferences screen, then the Correspondence view.
In the Default Printer field, enter the network name of the printer for correspondence.
The network name contains both the printer server name and the printer name as follows:
```
\\printer_server_name\printer_name
```
In the Printer Driver field, enter the name of the printer driver used to generate an intermediate file during the printing process, and save the record.
The system administrator can provide you with a list of printer drivers and their associated printer types. Select the printer driver associated with the printer used for correspondence.
