SoC Printer Setup and Guide

Transcription

1 In the School of Construction (SoC), printing is managed through PCounter print management software. This software has been implemented such that support services can manage printers and printing requirements within SoC in a more efficient way. PCounter allows you to run a print job from any printer within the SoC and at any time. This Guide will show you how to setup your preferred printer and use the software.
