   Conversion method	Description
   Complete Conversion (recommended)	Creates both a new Output Manager source and Output Manager destination on the chosen print servers for each detected Windows queue.
   Sources Only	Creates only a new Output Manager source on the chosen print servers for each detected Windows queue.
   Destinations Only	Creates only a new Output Manager destination on the chosen print servers for each detected Windows queue. This will create a single Output Manager destination when multiple printers/ports share the same IP address and queue name or port number.

5. On the File Store and Groups page, configure the grid as necessary, and when finished, click Next.
   1. Select the File Store to be associated with the new source.
