Setting Up the System Printer
Use the Printer Setup command to configure a default printer for NMS and to
select alternate printers for NMS functions.
NMS uses the default printer for all system generated output, such as the alert
log. You can also use the default printer for all user generated output.
However, you may not always want to print to the default printer. For example,
you may want to use another type of printer for reports, a graphics printer for Call
Statistics, or you may want to print to a file to postpone the print function.
Using the Printer Setup command, you can configure the print function so that
each time you select Print, NMS prompts you to choose between the default
printer or another printer selection.
Procedure
1. Select Config from the Main Menu.
2. Choose System from the Config menu.
3. Choose Printer Setup from the System menu. The Printer Setup window
appears with the following fields:
Valid System Default Printers: A list of the printers that you installed during
the Windows Setup program. The currently selected NMS default printer is
highlighted.
