Routing modifiers

Two Options

1. Reroute menu items to a different printer based on the modifier(s) entered
2. Send modifiers to specific printers without the main menu item

 

Assign Alternate Remote

By default, modifiers follow menu items’ print routing. However, it is possible to send a modifier to a different printer or to not print the modifier at all. A list of all system printers will be displayed in the pull- down box including “None” and “Pass”.

None is the default setting that will cause the modifier to follow the menu item.

Pass will cause the modifier to not print at all, and any other selection will cause the modifier to go the alternate printer.

When Alternate Remote is set, it will redirect the entire menu item to the route by the modifier chosen. You can also set this with the Route Printing Dept/Function which will cause the menu item to reroute to the printer assigned to the modifier selected.

Route Printing

Route Printing: Reroutes the entire menu item based on the selected modifier by using the department/function "Route Printing" and assigning the modifier names to remote printers. 

[Modifier Setup] Using the department/function, Route Printing, in addition to Assign Alternate Remote, the entire menu item reroutes based on the modifier selected. When using this function, you must assign all modifier names within the list to a remote printer.
