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
Profiles dialog box. To use the associations in printing, you must select
Associate Profile with application in Device Settings > Administrator >
General.
A maximum of 25 associations can be created in the Application Based
Printing dialog box, accessed from the Profiles dialog box.
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.
