## 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.
