(Optional) Configure the Print Settings for the Step

Skip the following procedural steps if you are configuring a document step with manual execution, or in the rare event the execution of an automatic document step does require to view but not necessarily to print document-related items.

  1. In the Operating Procedure tab, open the Print Settings expander.
  1. To activate the capability to automatically print document-related items, select the Print document check box.
    NOTE: If you do not set this option, operators, however, will be able to manually print document-related items when the document step is being executed, regardless of the step execution mode.
  1. To specify the printer for the document step, from the Printer drop-down list, select one of the available Desigo CC printers. For instructions on how to configure Desigo CC printers, see Configuring Printers.
    NOTE: Event though you cannot specify virtual printers here, operators, however, will be able to manually print to file (for example, Microsoft Print to PDF) when the document step is being executed, regardless of the step execution mode.
  1. To add document folders to the step, do the following:
    a. From System Browser, drag the Documents root folder or any specific subfolder into the empty area inside the Folder section.
    b. From the menu that displays, select one of the available actions among:
    - Add Include, to add the selected document folder and its subfolders (if any) to the list.
    - Add Exclude, to exclude one or multiple document folders.
    NOTE: If you linked the Documents root folder or structured subfolders, this functionality allows you to exclude any unwanted subfolders.
    - Cancel Operation, to undo the include or exclude operation.
    NOTE: Alternatively, you can click the Add Include or Add Exclude buttons before dragging the folder.
    c. Repeat the previous substeps to add all the required document folders.
  1. To remove a document folder, select it and click Remove.
