Application Based Printing
An administrator can associate a profile with an application so that all printing
from the application uses the same profile settings. This makes profiles easier
to use and ensures consistent printing from an application. For example, a
duplex printing profile can be applied to all spreadsheet printing to save paper,
or reports in Microsoft Word can be set to print with consistent stapling and print
quality.
Associations between profiles and applications can be created at any time in the
Application Based Printing dialog box, accessed from the Profiles dialog box.
A maximum of 25 associations can be created. To use the associations in
printing, you must select Associate Profile with application in Device
Settings > Administrator > General.
Note: Application Based Printing is only available for 32-bit operating
systems.
In a client/server environment, a user on a client computer can view details
about server associations but cannot change settings or select another profile.
Adding an Association
Once profiles have been created or imported, you can create an association
between a profile and an application. Then the application always prints using
the associated profile settings.
