NOTE: The maximum characters allowed in the Printer Identification field is 31. If your printer driver string is
more than 31 characters (including space), you can create a txt file (printer.txt) and upload to your file server.
Edit the txt file and type the content, such as "HP Color" = "HP Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP PCL6
Class Driver". Add the command line printermap=printer.txt to your wnos.ini file. Now, you can type “HP
Color” in the Printer Identification field instead of the full driver string.

If the thin client is to be used as an LPD printer server, DHCP must not be used and a static IP address must be
