Komet Sales allows for remote printers to be managed.

Info: This only applies to companies that have the remote printing component installed.

Add a New Printer

1. Go to Setup > Settings >Shipping and click on Manage Remote Printers.
2. The system will display the Manage Remote Printers window, click on the "Add a new printer" link. Warning: When entering the printer's name, please ensure it matches the exact name on your computer as when the printer was installed.
3. Type in the information requested for the new printer and the document type and select a specific carrier if needed. There is also the option to set the printer as default. Enabling the default option, upon confirmation of an invoice order, the system will automatically use the selected printer based on the location, carrier, and document type being printed.
4. Click Save.

Info: The printer information will need to be updated for each document type. You can set up different default printers as long as they have a different Carrier Name and Document Type selected. If a remote printer is created with the same Document Type, Location, and Default, the default setting for the existing remote printer will be automatically removed.
