Installing and connecting to a virtual printer

A virtual printer allows you to print to the E100 using a predefined set of job settings. You do

not have to set print options manually. Before you can print to a virtual printer, the

administrator must create and configure the virtual printer using Command WorkStation.

After the virtual printer is set up, you can install the printer driver and printer description files

on your computer from the E100 using Point and Print.

For more information about setting up virtual printers, see Command WorkStation Help.

When you install the printer driver using Point and Print, you cannot configure installable

options manually. Installable options are configured automatically. The installed options are

displayed in the printer driver when you select the Two-Way Communication option.
