Printer grouping

To reduce the number of entries and to avoid reporting printing costs for repeating devices, it is possible to group printers. The function is available in the Printers groups tab (the Configure printing costs window).

The printer grouping tab contains a list of printers with information about the machines which were performing printing on these devices. Printouts identified as other assume their printing costs, but in all other presentations (printout audit, reports) are still considered as independent printers.

Practical information

While grouping printers, note the entries referring to the same device which has different names on a given machine, as well as devices used by multiple users. Also select one entry which will be used as the basis for the creation of the given printer group, because nVision blocks the ability to create cyclical associations.

To remove the association for a given printer, right click to expand the menu for the given entry and select the option Clear ‘identify as’.
