The printer data must be collected. Once the printer data is collected, you can clone the printer
driver(s).

Do this procedure on each [Operator Console] where you want to clone the printer driver(s).

1.

Click the [Clone printer(s)] button.
The [Printer data] dialog opens. The [Printer data] dialog displays:
• The printer driver(s) for which printer data is collected.
• The printer driver(s) for the operating system of the selected [Operator Console].

For example, the [Operator Console] is installed on a Microsoft Windows XP system. You have
collected printer data from a Microsoft Windows 7 system. No printer driver(s) are available in
the [Printer data] dialog.

2.

Select the [Operator Console] on which you want to clone the printer driver(s).

3.

Select which printer driver(s) you want to clone. You can select one or more printer driver(s).

4.

Click the [OK] button.
A message appears when the printer driver(s) are installed and configured on the selected
[Operator Console].

5.

Close the [Collect printer data] dialog.

Directly after cloning, the cloned printer driver uses the same printing preferences as the original
printer driver, i.e. setting [1-sided or 2-sided]. An operator can change the printing preferences of
the original printer driver and/or the cloned printer driver. Now, the printing preferences between
original and cloned printer driver deviate.

Open the Printer Settings administration console via the Start menu. You can enable the [Share
printer settings] option to share a number of printer settings between the original and the cloned
printer driver. See the Printer Settings help file to determine which printer settings can be shared.
