Remote Printing

Remote printing means that the physical printer needs to be connected and installed on the iClose-Up Client computer. You would then connect to the iClose-Up Server computer and print a document or graphic on the iClose-Up Server, but it would be transferred and printed out remotely on the iClose-Up Client computer.

Lets use Microsoft Word for our example. We will assume that you have already installed an iClose-Up printer, the installation instructions are described in the below paragraph “A) Installing an iClose-Up Printer Driver on the iClose-Up Server Side”.

Microsoft Word would be on the iClose-Up Server Computer. You would from your iClose-Up Client computer connect to the iClose-Up Server and start Remote Control. You would then run Microsoft Word and have a document in Word that you are looking at remotely, that you wish to print. You would then pull down the “File” menu and select “Print”. At the top of the Word Option screen it will say “Name” with the name of the default printer selected. If this is not the printer driver that you modified by adding iClose-Up to the printer name then you would press the down arrow button to select the printer driver you modified by adding iClose-Up after the printer name. You then select “Ok” and the document will print on the iClose-Up Client side. After you Exit Microsoft Word, Word will revert to using the default printer driver the next time you bring up Microsoft Word.

A) Installing an iClose-Up Printer Driver on the iClose-Up Server Side: We will assume that you have an installed physical printer on the iClose-Up Client computer. You will now be installing a printer driver on the iClose-Up Server computer. The printer driver you install must be for the physical printer located on the iClose-Up Client computer. Windows comes with all the popular printer drivers so the driver you need will probably be available without needing the floppy disk for the printer driver for your printer.

There are two ways to install an iClose-Up printer driver on the iClose-Up Server computer. First, you can be at the iClose-Up Server computer and install an iClose-Up printer driver. Or you can connect remotely from the iClose-Up Client computer and install an iClose-Up printer driver remotely on the iClose-Up Server side. It does not matter which way you install the results are the same. Below are the steps you should take for installing. They are divided into Windows 95/98/Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. Select the section below for the type of operating system on the iClose-Up Server side (the side you connect to).

B) Printing to the iClose-Up Printer: Now you are ready to print. Using the example described at the top of this page using Microsoft Word for our example:.

Microsoft Word would be on the iClose-Up Server Computer. You would from your iClose-Up Client computer connect to the iClose-Up Server and start Remote Control. You would then run Microsoft Word and have a document in Word that you are looking at remotely, that you wish to print. You would then pull down the “File” menu and select “Print”. At the top of the Word Option screen it will say “Name” with the name of the default printer selected.

You then select “Ok” and the document will print on the iClose-Up Client side. After you Exit Microsoft Word, Word will revert to using the default printer driver the next time you bring up Microsoft Word.
