Change Device Status (ttaad3240m000)
Use this session to change the device status of a printer. For example, you can temporarily disable a printer, if you want to change its location.
Use the options on the appropriate menu to disable or enable a printer: you can change the status to Down and to Up respectively.
If the device status is Down, you can still send print jobs to this printer. The print jobs are queued and will be printed as soon as the status is back to Up.
You can only change the status for devices of Printer (Unix printers that are managed by the printer daemon).
If you have started this session by zooming, you can only find and select a record.
