Printer Pooling
Setting Up Printer Pooling
Printer Pooling is a standard feature of Windows, which lets you spread the printed output
across a pool of several printers. In this example, we will install and setup the three network
printers to be used for pooling.
Step 1. Before proceeding to pool the printers, test them individually, and be sure they are
configured similarly. Specifically, check the following:
Ribbon panel configuration (ribbon type, and what prints on which side of
the card).
Mag encoding configuration.
Black extraction configuration (if applicable).
Step 2. Access the Ports Tab.
Step 3. Select the three network printers by selecting the associated checkbox (circle above).
Step 4. Ensure that Enable printer pooling and Enable bidirectional support checkboxes are
selected (arrows above).
Step 5. Click the Apply button, then click the OK button.
