Understanding destination configuration models

Destination configuration models show the relationships among logical destinations, job- and document-attribute defaults, queues, and actual destinations. A default InfoPrint Manager destination configuration has a one-to-one relationship between a logical destination and an actual destination, and provides minimal job- and document-attribute default settings. As you customize your InfoPrint Manager environment to support your printing needs, you might want to consider a more advanced destination configuration model.

Note: In multiple InfoPrint Manager server environments, the logical destination and the queue that it sends jobs to must reside in the same InfoPrint Manager server. The actual destination, however, can reside in a different InfoPrint Manager server, unless you want to submit jobs directly to the actual destination. For direct submission, the actual destination must reside in the same server as the logical destination and queue.
