Note
Requesting a printer's capabilities can take some time, and not all printers will
support it.
For PostScript and PCLprinters you should first set up monitoring of the printer, in
the "Printer Status pane" below.
l
Check Printer Capabilities button / context menu option: Each printer capability
is listed under the Printer, in separate divisions. Capabilities are read directly from
the printer.
l
Export Printer Capabilities button / context menu option: Export the printer
capabilities to JSONfile. This contains all the relevant printer capabilities, in a text
file format.
l
/ Expand / Collapse button / context menu option: Expand or contract the
printer details.
Printer Status pane
This pane can be used to monitor the state of PostScript and PCL printers. It contains general
printer information, such as the printer's B&W or color settings, as well as the quantity of paper
in trays, any outstanding alerts or errors and whether the printer is currently in use, or awaiting a
job. An example of this can be seen in the following image:
To Start monitoring a printer select the start icon to the right of the status display:
