DEVICE PROPERTIES

Printer Connection Properties

When a printer is selected, the “Connection” tab of the “Device

Properties” screen offers additional functionality specific to printers.

In particular, you can select one of three options for automatically

connecting the device.

If the printer is being shared among multiple computers, we recommend

selecting “This is a shared printer, automatically connect and disconnect

only when printing”. With this option, the printer is automatically

connected when a print job is sent to it, then is disconnected as soon as

the job completes so the printer is then available for other computers.

Check “Automatically connect this device when the Home Base Control

Center starts” if you want this computer to automatically connect to

this printer each time the computer starts, preventing other users from

connecting to the printer automatically.

You can force users to manually connect to the printer with the “Never

automatically connect, I will always connect manually” option.

The “Printer” field is enabled if you select one of the automatic

connection options. From the drop-down list, select the printer driver

associated with this printer.

Connections to devices may occasionally be lost due to network

failures or other factors. If you want the Control Center to automatically

reconnect with the device should this occur, check “Attempt to

reconnect the device if a connection is lost”. The Control Center will try

to reconnect with the device until the connection is reestablished or the

computer is shut down.

Use the “Program” field to specify settings for any software associated

with this printer. You can also check “Disconnect this device when the

program is closed” if you want to free up the device for use by other

computers when you close the software.

In the “Program” field, browse to find the software you want to associate

with the printer. You can also enter the path to the software directly into

the field. Once your settings are saved, only the name of the program

appears in the “Program” field.
