Devices

The "Devices" tab gives you an overview of all the devices you set up. This is where you enable/dis­able the printing of accompanying papers and time sheets without having to go to the Central Device Manager (CDM) to do this. Printing time sheets means doing it directly on the machine (see Print Time Sheet on the Machine).

In the "Accompanying Papers" column, you see at a glance whether a template is assigned to a device or not. The "Printer" column shows you where the accompanying paper/time sheet will be printed.

You can assign a new template and a new printer to a device using the "Open" button.
