This option allows you to set a default printer and tray for the stock document.
Clicking the drop-down list shows the printers available from the pc for you to select, after selecting the printer the list of trays can also be selected from a drop-down list. Note that this option assumes that the same printer is available, on the same device path, from all terminals that will process the particular document. If the printer is not available the usual default will apply.
Bill of Materials documents are slightly more complicated than others as they already allow default printing options via screen 14 of the document parameters and these features need to be compatible with these options.
As Bill of Materials allows the setting of two print devices via screen 14 the ‘Print Settings’ option also allows the setting of two printers / trays. If set the first print settings on this screen then the default/automatic printer on screen 14 should be set to either 0 or 106 (any other setting on screen 14 will override the setting here). If set the second print setting on this screen then the automatic 2nd print on screen 14 must be set to 106 (if left as 0 no second copy will print, any other setting would again override this printer here).
