Default desktop print rules

You can specify a particular desktop print rule as a default Rule Set for desktop printing. As with any other type of print rule, you can create multiple rules for desktop printing. Unlike network print rules, you can select one desktop print rule to be the default.

Equitrac checks to see if there is a default desktop print rule before it checks all other desktop print rules. If there is a default rule, and it matches the incoming print job, Equitrac will not process any other desktop print rules for that request.

For example, if you define a default rule that denies color printing on local devices, and a second rule that warns users if they attempt to print a large B&W document to a local printer, Equitrac checks the default first, and, finding no match for the color document attribute, checks the attributes against the second rule. If the document exceeds the defined page count limit, the user receives a desktop message.

In the Rules & Routing dialog box, click Default for Workstations and select the default from the Default rule set for workstations drop-down list.
