Tools - Printer types
About
Printer type module is always used in cooperation with feature called Export settings for YSoft SafeQ Client. The printer types will be part of CSV export that can be later used for the installation of SafeQ client.
Under the printer types you can set up the type of the device with specified type of accounting. This can be later used also in the Advanced settings of devices in SafeQ (see Using the Printers list). In SafeQ, you can define printer types and assign them to individual devices.
A device type consists of a printer name (type name) and a driver name used in the Windows operating system as the device driver.
DO NOT CONFUSE THIS WITH THE ACCOUNTING DEVICE DRIVER USED IN SAFEQ
One of the defined types always has to be marked as default. It should never happen that either no driver (device type) or more than one driver is set as the default. This is done by marking the first defined type automatically as default. The system does not allow you to delete any default type before setting another one in its place.

General Overview
Printer types can be found on web interface: Devices -> Tools ->Printer types
Each line with a printer type includes a printer name displayed in the first column (this name represents the printer type shown in a drop-down menu of the device edit dialogue window), a driver name displayed in the second column, and an accounting device type listed in the third column. Next to it, there is an icon for editing the particular printer type data and an icon for removing the printer type data from the list. The check box at the end of the line is used for setting a default printer type. By checking the check box, the printer type is set as the default. As stated above, only one printer type can be checked as default at a time (it is monitored by SafeQ).
You can find the driver name in the SafeQPort-CSV.txt file. It includes a list that must correspond to "Printer type" on safeq web interface (see Adding and editing printers or Device Templates Editor).
