20.2 Detailed Directions
This section includes the following procedures:
• Obtain Information from a Printer (Page 314)
• Delete Documents or Files on the Printer (Page 314)
• Control Versions of a Document (Page 315)
• Adjust Printer Settings (Page 317)
20.2.1 Obtain Information from a Printer
To obtain information from a printer:
1. Choose Tools | Managers | Printer Utilities.
2. In the Select information to request list, select the information you require.
PlanetPress Design printer status page: Select to request a PlanetPress Design printer status page.
Printer variable content document listing: Select to request a list of all variable content documents
installed on the printer. The list includes all PlanetPress Design documents on the hard drive, in RAM,
and in the flash memory of the printer. The information for each document includes the comments you
defined in the Notes box of the Document properties dialog box.
Printer files listing: Select to request a list of all files on the printer.
3. In the Select printers list, select the printers for which you want to obtain the selected information.
4. Select Send to file if you want to save the information as a PostScript file rather than output it on the
printer(s).
5. Click OK.
If you selected Send to file, for each of the selected information sheets you requested PlanetPress
Design prompts you to specify the name of the file to which you want to save the information. Thus if
you selected all three information sheets, PlanetPress Design prompts you three times.
If you did not select Send to file, the information prints on each of the selected printers.
