Viewing and Changing Properties
The properties of an object are attributes such as the object name, the length and
width of a paper, the size, priority, and number of copies of a job, the paper and
finishing options that a printer supports, and so on.
Administrators can view the properties of all objects (server, workflows, printers, printer pools, papers, workflow activities, and jobs) and change the read/write properties of all objects. Operators can view the properties of printers, printer pools, workflows, papers, and jobs, and they can change the read/write properties of these objects. Monitors can view the printers, printer pools, workflows, and jobs, but they cannot view or change any properties of these objects.
Note: You cannot change the properties of a paper that was automatically created to correspond
to a paper in the printer’s paper catalog.
To view or change the properties of an object:
- In the object pod, right-click the object and select Properties... from the options list that opens.
You see the Properties dialog. This example shows the Properties for Job Ticket Printer dialog:
- Click each page to see different properties.
- To see on-screen balloon help for any of the properties:
- Mouse over the property.
- Click
, the question mark button, next to the property name.
- Enter or select new values for any properties that you want to change.
- Click OK.For printer and workflow updates to take effect, TotalFlow Production Manager disables the printer or workflow, then enables it automatically.
