Create, Edit, and Remove Printer Groups

If the location is large and has many printers disbursed over a wide area, you may find it useful to configure a limited list of printers that are selectable by workstation operators. The workstation operator can select a printer that is nearby from the list on the workstation (a mobile tablet device), and optionally set this printer as the default printer for future print jobs. When a workstation operator selects a default destination printer, the selection automatically resets at Start of Day.

A default printer group named All Destination Printers exists in the Printer Groups module. You cannot change this default printer group. If you do not create printer groups, all printers with the option Destination Printer (set in the Printers module) belong to the All Destination Printers printer group. The All Destination Printers default printer group is useful for locations that need only one group of destination printers.
