Printing to two types of
stationery
Abstract
Capable 21C can print many different types of reports,
invoices and statements to different printers. It can also
print these different types of documents to the same printer (if
that printer supports dual paper trays). This article
describes how to configure the printer drivers, and Capable 21C
to support this kind of functionality.
Underlying challenge
Normally, when a printer is installed in Windows, it loads a
single printer driver, with only one paper type selected.
As Capable 21C might require more than one kind of paper type to
print on that printer, this kind of configuration will not work.
To configure Windows differently, refer to the resolution below.
Resolution
To perform these steps, the printer driver installation CD
may be necessary. These steps are of a slightly more
technical nature, and may require the assistance of a PC
Technician.
- Install the printer driver for the printer a second
time. This should result in the printer appearing
twice in the Printers and Faxes section of the Windows
control panel.
- Rename one of the two printer drivers to describe the
print tray (or paper size) being used in that tray (eg Laser
Printer Tray 1 A4).
- Rename the other printer driver to describe the second
print tray (eg Last Printer Tray 2 A5).
- Start Capable 21C and go to Setup|Setup Printers.
- Nominate the desired printer driver for the appropriate
kinds of stationery.
Detailed Information
Note that this technique can be used for triple tray printers
as well.
Note that in a network environment, each PC will need the
duplicate drivers installed, and the Capable 21C Printer Setup
screen adjusted accordingly.
