Setting Server Properties

You set server properties by displaying and modifying the server's Properties sheet. From these property sheets you can perform the following tasks:

Create custom forms that are available to all printers on the server.
Set spooler error logging and set notification options for all printers on the server.

To view a print server's Properties tab, open the Printers folder, and click on Server Properties on the File menu.

Creating Custom Forms

Any user with Full Control permission can define a new form by using the server's Properties Forms property sheet. For example, you could create a form called "Customer Receipt Form" that uses letter-size paper and nonstandard margins. You also can create multiple forms with the same paper size or margins (or both) to meet specific user needs. For example, you could create forms that have unique names but the same paper size and image area (margins) to identify different departmental letterhead.

New form definitions are added to the print server's database and are stored per server, not per printer. You assign forms to a specific print device and tray using the printer's Properties Settings property sheet.

If an odd-sized form is needed for a single document and will not likely be used again, specify Manual Feed in the Paper Tray box.

Configuring the Server's Properties

Using the Properties Advanced property sheet on the server, you can perform the following tasks:

Enable spooler event logging.
Configure the print server to notify the client when a remote document has finished printing.

When spooler event logging is enabled, Advanced Server logs errors to the system log. To view the system log, run Event Viewer.

For more information about using Event Viewer, see Chapter 7, "Monitoring Events."
