3.8 Printers

The Printers screen allows you to set up an unlimited number of network printers and fax devices to be used with the system server. The system uses the information on this screen while selecting a printer, when the printing process involves a batch job or uses a job scheduler. Examples include printing reports and correspondence.

The printers and fax devices can be set up at each organization, division, or department to promote efficient printing of documents, and reports. The system uses this information during product setup and on the Letters screen in the Batch Printer field.

Special printer names

The following printer names are predefined and have specific functions within the system:

Table 3-59 Printer names

Name Description
UNDEFINED Indicates that the document to be printed is to be previewed in your browser instead of actually printing the document.
ARCHIVE Instead of sending an item to the printer, the system generates a PDF document and saves it in the archive directory on your server.
EMAIL For Loan origination correspondences that can be faxed, the system e-mails the document as a PDF attachment to the consumer for direct Loan or to the producer in the case of in-direct Loan.
FAX For Loan origination correspondences that can be faxed, the system generates a PDF document and will send to the fax server defined in System Parameters.
Additionally, you may set up composite entries in the Printer Name field to perform two or more functions at the same time. This can be done by defining a printer name with the following format:
PRINTER NAME = <PRINTER_NAME1> + <PRINTER_NAME2>
For example, if a printer named JET4050 was previously defined, as were the special printer names listed above, then the following additional printers could be defined:

Table 3-60 Additional printers

Name Description
JET4050+ARCHIVE Prints the document with the jet4050 printer and archives the document.
FAX+ARCHIVE Faxes and archives the document.
EMAIL+ARCHIVE+JET4050 E-mails, archives, and prints the document with the jet4050 printer.

    Table 3-61 Printers

    Field Do this
    Printer Name Specify the printer name. The name of the printer as defined by the server. For a UNIX server, the name might be JET4050, while to access the same printer from a Windows server the name would be: \\servername\jet4050.
    Description Specify the description for the printer.
    Organization Select the organization to which the printer belongs, from the dropdown list.
    Division Select the division to which the printer belongs, from the drop-down list. The division will be displayed based on the organization selected.
    Department

    Select the department to which the printer belongs, from the drop-down list. The department will be displayed based on the division selected.

    IMPORTANT: When you select a printer to use, the system searches for a best match using the following attributes:

    1. Organization

    2. Division

    3. Department

    Hence, Oracle recommends creating a version of each edit, where ALL is the value in these fields.

    It is also recommended that, you define a default printer for an Organization, Division and Department.
    Default Check this box to set the printer as a default printer.
    Enabled

    Check this box to enable the printer and that the printer is active.

    Note: Never disable the UNDEFINED printer
