PrintStation for office

Discover queues, select the exact profile and record the hardware configuration.

For owners

Read these instructions on any device. Watch or practise a chapter on a desktop or laptop, with a desktop or mobile application layout. Demonstrations use sample data and simulated scanners.

Enrol a workstation and choose its printer

  1. Name the workstation

    Name the workstation.

    Enrol the browser profile on the computer that runs the PrintStation app. The enrolment lasts ninety days; use a recognisable bench name.

  2. Enrol this computer

    Enrol this computer.

    Enrolment gives this browser a workstation identity. It does not qualify a printer or grant employees access to another product.

  3. Find installed printer queues

    Find installed printer queues.

    The genuine pinned connector SDK discovers queues over a simulated socket in this course. On a real computer, install and start PrintStation first and follow its readiness guidance.

  4. Choose the exact media profile

    Choose the exact media profile.

    Choose size, density and format deliberately. This exercise uses a hundred by a hundred and fifty millimetre ZPL label at two hundred and three dots per inch. A PDF profile is a different binding.

  5. Record the printer model

    Record the printer model.

    A calibration record belongs to this model, driver, operating system, app version and media profile. Changing the setup requires new evidence.

  6. Record the driver

    Record the driver.

    Use the installed driver name and version, not a guess. Synthetic Driver is test data in this proof.

  7. Record the operating system

    Record the operating system.

    Record the workstation operating system alongside the queue and driver. These details help diagnose output differences.

  8. Prepare the printer calibration

    Prepare the printer calibration.

    Adding a binding prepares the fixed calibration label. Production use stays held until the calibration has been sent and its observations accepted.
