Menu System › Printer Display Panel › Using Filtering Criteria

Using Filtering Criteria

You can use filtering to limit the number of printers selected for display.

The Filtering Criteria is specified in the heading of the panel and/or in the column heading of the printers. For a complete description of the filtering criteria in the heading of the panel, see the Filtering Criteria topic in this chapter.

Two special blind filters, NEVERUSED and NEVEROK, are available on the printer display panel. NEVERUSED indicates printers that have never had any files queued and/or selected for printing. NEVEROK indicates printers that had one or more files routed to it but have never successfully printed any files.

Note: The NEVERUSED and NEVEROK printers use status that will be maintained throughout a CA Spool cycle. In other words, the status of printers' use will be maintained across REINIT processing, but not across a cold or warm start of CA Spool. In addition, if a MAS or EMAS environment is used, and the network control is switched to a different member, the use status of printers will be lost.
