Set Up Custom Task Printers

Configure your own “printer” that performs a series of actions that you define. Use the Task Printers Manager to set up individual ePrint printers that perform routine tasks automatically, without having to manually repeat the steps each time.

Tasks and task printers enable batch processing for document conversion, emailing and printing to other windows printers. An ePrint task printer has the added bonus of being directly accessible from the Windows printer folder, thereby making it possible to convert a document to a predefined location and file type, email the file and print it to a physical printer all in one step.

By setting up multiple printers, you can retain all of the settings that you use most often. For example, let's say that your two biggest uses for ePrint are converting to TIFF and PDF files at the same time, and converting a weekly sales report to PDF and then emailing it to your manager. Instead of having to peform the steps each time you print, you can set up two instances of ePrint. You can configure one to convert to TIFF and PDF at the same time, and the other to convert your report to PDF and simultaneously email it to your manager. You can even come up with your own unique name for each printer ("TIFF-PDF Printer", "Sales Report Printer"). Now when you want to convert your files, just choose the printer that has your settings already configured.

This is how ePrint will show up in your system printers

You can manage the task printers you create by going to Start ->Programs->ePrint 5-> Tools-> Task Printers Manager
