FINDING YOUR WAY AROUND ASYCUDA++ Ó UNCTAD - SITE (V1.15) 2.14 º (Tools and Options) Menu This  menu  option,  the  first  on  the  top  status  line,  contains  useful  tools,  including  a  calendar  and calculator.  Printer controls, server connection setting, and screen appearance options are among the facilities under 'Tools and Options'. Tools Printer Manager Allows users to control the jobs on their local printer This option may also be accessed directly by using <CtrI> <P>. Controlling remote printers is also possible when logged in to the server. ‘Local’  means  a  print  generated  from  the  user’s  computer   and  sent  to  a printer  either  connected  directly  to  the  user’s  computer  or  to  another  client computer on the ASYCUDA++ local network ‘Remote’ means a print job resulting from a user’s request to the server. These  server  prints  are  either  printed  on  a  printer  directly  connected  to  the server,  or,  more  usually,  received  back  at  the  user’s  computer  as  a  message. The  user  saves  this  reply  or  message  from  the  server  as  a  text  file,  and  after saving, can print the server reply as a local’ print. Local The  ‘Local’  option  lists  the  printers  available  to  the  user.  The  Printer  List  names  the  printer,  the ‘address’  of  the  printer,  and  the  current  status.  It  the  user  has  a  printer  directly  attached  to  their computer the list will describe this printer as ‘Local’. The printer status may be ‘Idle’, ‘Printing’, or if there are printing problems, error messages such as ‘Paused’ or ‘Out of paper’ may appear. Option buttons on the Print Manager screen allow the listing of current print jobs on that printer and the choice of pausing or resuming printing. The Job List shows all print jobs assigned to that printer and queued for printing. Options on that screen allow for deleting of print jobs and for refreshing the list. The ‘Local’ Print Manager also shows any remote printers available to the user. ‘Remote’  in  this  context  means  a  printer  not  directly  connected  to  the  user’s  computer  but  to  the computer of another user on the ASYCUDA++ network. Remote   printers,   i.e.   printers   connected   to   another   user’s   computer,   are connected using the ‘Options’, ‘Printers’, and ‘Installation’ menu options. See the section on ‘Printers’ on the installation of remote printers. If  the  Print  Manager  screen  lists  more  than  one  printer  as  available,  for  example  a  LPT1  Local Printer  and  a  RPT1  Remote  Printer,  the  user  may  select  either  the  local  or  the  remote  as  the default printer. The user prints will then be directed to the default printer. Note:  For  a  print  to  be  directed  to  another  user’s  computer  (i.e.  to  a ‘remote’ printer) the other computer must be switched on and running an ASYCUDA++ Module. The printer connected to that computer must also be switched on and loaded with paper.
