Configure a printer

About this task

Configure a printer allows you to make additions, deletions and changes to a camera or printer to communicate with your system.

Considerations

The camera selected from the export toolbar in the Volume Viewer is not changed when the camera configured in the Film Composer is changed. The system is designed so that you can send your films to different cameras in your department. If you want all MR films to be sent to the same camera, you must have identical camera selections from both the Film Composer Configuration screen and the Film/Save Options screen.

Use these steps to add a printer to your film composer.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Open the Film Composer.
  2. Click Configure to open the Remote printer configuration screen with the current default printer displayed.
